44、）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Fishing adds only about one percent to the global economy, but on a regional basis it can contribute extremely to human survival. Manne fisheries contribute more to the worlds supply of protein than beef,poultry or any other animal source.Fishing typically does not n
45、eed land ownership, and because it remains, generally, open to all ,it is often the employer of last resort in the developing world-an occupation when there are no other choices. Worldwide, about 200 million people rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Within Southeast Asia alone, over five million
46、 people fish full-time. In northern Chile forty percent of the population lives off the ocean. In Newfoundland most employment came from fishing or servicing that industry-until the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990s that left tens of thousands of people out of work.Though debates over
47、 the conservation of natural resources are often cast as a conflict between jobs and the environment, the restoration of fish populations would in fact boost employment. Michael P. Sissenwine and Andrew A. Rosenberg of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service have estimated that if depleted specie
48、s were allowed to rebuild to their long-term potential, their sustainable use would add about 8 billion to the U. S. gross domestic product-and provide about 300,000 jobs. If fish populations were restored and properly managed, about twenty million metric tons could be added to the worlds annual catch. But restoration of ecological balance, fiscal profitability(收益) and economic security will require a continual reduction in the capacity of the commercial fishing industry so that wild populations can recover.The necessary reductions in fishing workforce need not come at the expense of j
