When I was a student, I had a summer job in an expensive restaurant in Glasgow. One day we were expecting forty members of a football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling potatoes. I thought I was managing quite well with my small knife until the owner appeared to see how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was using a knife and asked why I wasn’t using the potato peeler. I had no idea what a potato was so she led me into a small room behind the main kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people have in their bathrooms.

Every year, 100 million sharks are killed by people in commercial and recreational fishing. In the past they were killed simply for the sport of landing a good fighting fish. Sharkskin was used for making sandpaper. Other sharks are hunted for food, and some species for other products. Sharks are a common seafood in many places around the world, including Japan and Australia. In Australia shark is the most commonly used fish.

For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-19 th century commented that none of the great sea fisheries is to be exhausted. Today though, there is evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously endangered as those of the land and the air, and that the endangered species include Herring and Carp as well as the African Elephant, Indian Tiger, and the American Eagle. Furthermore, the threats to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds. This is because fishes are a much needed food resources and people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their dish, and the decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population. Fishermen in the North Atlantic alone annually harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demands, but it is important to recognize that these practices cannot continue without depleting fish storage within the next few years. Sea resources are rapidly declining in many parts of the world, and the problem cannot be ignored. We can predict that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever.
