Question 17

A seafood company catches the same mass of herring each year. The company claims that this must be sustainable because some herring continue to breed.

Why is the company's claim not necessarily correct?

[1]
A

Breeding makes the stock grow, so the company could catch more each year

B

Adult herring are being caught, but only young herring should be caught

C

The stock can only stay the same if no herring are caught at all

D

The stock falls if herring are caught faster than breeding can replace them
