World Without Fish

WORLD WITH OUT FISH tells how and why the fish we most commonly eat, including tuna, salmon, cod, and swordfish, could become extinct within fifty years, and the terrible domino effect this will have: oceans teeming with jellyfish and turning pinkish – orange from algal blooms; seabirds, then reptiles, then mammals disappearing. It describes the effects of overfishing and global warming, and how bottom-dragging nets turn the ocean floor into a virtual desert. Resources, Index. Illus. 183p. (Ages: 9 & up).
