______ hunting is carried out in the oceans.

  1. Whale

  2. Seal

  3. Penguin

  4. Dolphin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Whale hunting is carried out in the oceans. 

______ in oceans is a more complex activity.

  1. Researching

  2. Diving

  3. Hunting

  4. Fishing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fishing in the oceans is typically a very multifaceted action, you can imagine the high concentration hurricane usually present in the ocean, it may be very difficult for the fishermen to cop up the situation, this is because the boats used for fishing may be influenced by the storm to a point of leasing water into the boats and finally making the boats to overturn. 

Fishing is a major activity that can selectively remove a large portion of animal populations and also considerably change tropic connections. Fishing gear that drags the bottom at times, such as bottom-trawls, pots, and loglines, can alter marine habitats, especially benthic or reef habitats. 

Because fish populations change naturally, sometimes by orders of magnitude, separating the effects of fishing from natural and environmental unpredictability is difficult.

Thus, the correct option is D.

_____ fishing is usually simple and is taken up on a small scale.

  1. Pole

  2. Ice

  3. Fly

  4. Inland


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • Inland fisheries are generally characterized by small-scale/household-based activities. Participation in fisheries is high and the bulk of the catch is consumed locally.

_____ is a primary activity along rivers and lakes and in coastal areas.

  1. Fishing

  2. Hunting

  3. Herding

  4. Lumbering


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Marine fisheries, as well as fisheries in large lakes, depend on the coastal region in a variety of ways. Most capture fisheries are base on coastal stocks; others develop offshore stock which spends part of their life in inshore waters, e.g., in a nursery school or feed area. 

Fish stocks also rely on the main efficiency in the coastal area as an important part of the food chain. Coastal aquaculture is also greatly charged on the coastal area for liberty and wealth. 

This dependence of the marine fisheries segment on the coastal area makes it mainly at risk to activities which result in coastal environmental change which may have major impacts on the sector. At the same time, the fisheries sector can affect other coastal activities.

Thus, the correct option is A.

______ ships catch, process  and tin the fish on the ship itself.

  1. Factory

  2. Cargo

  3. Passenger

  4. High speed craft


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • A factory ship is a type of ship that is used to freeze and process the fishes caught from oceans. 
  • Since the processing and preserving of fishes have to be done in an appropriate time and manner, the factory ships are installed with all the necessary equipments and facilities to aid the process.
  • Factory ships, in addition to being a single concentrated processing place for fishes also function as a ship which carries other smaller fishing ships. 
  • The factory ships which work in such a manner are known as mother ships. 

_______ is the world's largest fishing lake.

  1. Lake Ladoga

  2. Lake Baikal

  3. Tonl Sap

  4. Lake Onega


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • The Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and one of the richest inland fishing grounds in the world.
  • The Tonle Sap is one of the world's most productive freshwater fisheries and the main source of protein and fatty acids for Cambodia's roughly 15 million inhabitants.
