Best Answer

East Coast Fishery

Overfishing - catches were too high

Improved Fishing Technology - commercial fishing (trawlers); solar or satellite navigation systems

Uncontrolled Foreign Fishing - more catch than sustained yield methods allowed; restrictions were implied

Destructive Fishing Practices - threw away other types of fish caught in the nets by accident (by-catch)

Change in Natural Conditions - environmental changes; water temperature dropped; ocean saltiness levels changed; decline in sealing industry; seals population increased; seals ate young cod; decrease in cod populations

Why east coast of India is more productive than west cast in case of fishery?

<p><p> Not sure, but may be due to the flow of trade winds from from northeast direction to the southwest direction that ultimately removes the water from the east coast and fresh nutrient comes over the the surface , that increases in the production.


What are the reasons for the collapse of the west coast fishery?

The collapse of the east coast fishery had several causes. 1. Pollution. Pouring untreated sewage into the east coast waters killed a large number of fish. 2. Habitat loss. Many of the fish use the wetlands and streams as places to lay their eggs and as nurseries for their young. When the meadowlands are filled in they are no longer the nurseries for little fish. Little fish can no longer leave home to grow up to become big fish. Simply because no one saw the tons of little fish produced by the meadowlands every day did not mean they would not miss the tons of big fish they would become as they were eaten and as a few grew into those big fish. When streams are dammed, Atlantic Salmon and other fishes can not swim upriver to lay their eggs. (Enough were already killed trying to swim upstream in polluted rivers.) 3. Over fishing. When entirely too many big fish are caught, not enough little fish will be produced to replace them. It still takes one large male and one large female fish to produce fertilized eggs. Enough of those must grow up for the fishery to recover. Right now that is difficult.
