Question

When considering human impacts to ecosystems, identify the incorrect statement:
Select one:
a. cod, swordfish, halibut and mackerel populations are especially vulnerable to collapse
b. coral reefs providing critical habitat and sources of food for tropical fish are slowly recovering, due to successful enforcement of fishing quotas
c. aquaculture may provide a sustainable alternative for raising farmed fish to feed a growing human population, allowing ocean fisheries to recover
d. over half of global ocean fisheries populations have become severely overharvested within the past century

Answer 1

Answer:

coral reefs providing critical habitat and sources of food for tropical fish are slowly recovering, due to successful enforcement of fishing quotas

Explanation:

This is a wrong statement because coral reefs contrary to the statement is not recovering, Over-fishing an destructive fishing,(to meet up with increasing demand) are some of the human impacts  reltively control by  the enforcement.

But,acidification  (eutrophication),  and  mass coral bleaching from global warming  are not restricted by the enforcement  of fishing quotas and  are drastically reducing the population of the reefs.This in turn affecting the survival of the fishes, reducing the population,
