Overfishing is a major cause of the decline in fishing, where fish are caught faster than they can reproduce, leading to depleted stocks.
Pollution from industrial waste and agricultural runoff contaminates water bodies, harming fish populations and reducing their numbers.
Climate change affects ocean temperatures and currents, disrupting fish habitats and migration patterns, which contributes to the decline.
Habitat destruction, such as coral reef damage and coastal development, removes critical breeding and feeding grounds for fish.
In India, local products like traditional fishing nets and boats are still used, but modern challenges are causing a decline in the fishing industry. |
