Eastern Atlantic fishing 'unsustainable' 大西洋東部捕漁過度

Overfishing is a greater threat to the area than pollution

對這一海區，過度捕撈的威脅大于污染的威脅

Two-thirds of the main commercial fish species caught in the north-east Atlantic are being depleted faster than they can replenish themselves.

And all nine of the commercial species caught in the North Sea are being fished unsustainably, says a report to a conference on the region.

The report also says that new deep-water species, increasingly being sought by the developed world's fishing fleets, stand to suffer the same fate.

The report concludes that overfishing is a greater threat to the area than pollution or any other human activity.

在大西洋東北部，主要商業魚種的三分之二被捕撈消耗的速度大于它們繁殖增長的速度。

在一次會議上一份報告稱，北海所有的9種商業魚種都在被無節制地捕撈。

這份報告同時指出，正在被發達國家的捕撈船隊搜尋的深海的新魚種也會遭受同樣的命運。

報告的結論說，過度捕撈對這一海區的威脅大于污染和其它任何一種人類活動的威脅。
