Eastern Atlantic fishing 'unsustainable' 大西洋东部捕渔过度

Overfishing is a greater threat to the area than pollution

对这一海区，过度捕捞的威胁大于污染的威胁 

Two-thirds of the main commercial fish species caught in the north-east  Atlantic are being depleted¹ faster than they can replenish² 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.

在大西洋东北部，主要商业鱼种的三分之二被捕捞消耗的速度大于它们繁殖增长的速度。

在一次会议上一份报告称，北海所有的9种商业鱼种都在被无节制地捕捞。

这份报告同时指出，正在被发达国家的捕捞船队搜寻的深海的新鱼种也会遭受同样的命运。

报告的结论说，过度捕捞对这一海区的威胁大于污染和其它任何一种人类活动的威胁
