After a 10-year project to count tuna (金枪鱼) and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: These fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 per cent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared (消失). If we don't act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean.
The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to the ocean. "People are consuming (消费) too much," says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute.
A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean's food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks (鲨鱼), which normally eat tuna, ▲.
The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn't happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without harming the environment.
"If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs," says Morgan. "Then decide what you're going to eat."

经过一项为期10年、旨在统计世界海洋中金枪鱼和其他大型鱼类数量的研究项目,科学家们有了一个非常惊人的发现:这些鱼类几乎消失了。由于过度捕捞,全球范围内我们常食用的大型鱼类种群中,近90%已经消失。如果我们不采取行动,这些动物将会彻底灭绝。这将会影响海洋中的每一种动物。
人们对鱼类的需求正在增长。全球近10亿人的蛋白质主要来源于鱼类。医生们称赞海鲜脂肪含量低。但对人类来说看似健康的选择,却正在给海洋带来灾难。“人们的消费太多了,”海洋保护生物学研究所的科学家兰斯·摩根说道。
餐厅里的一份金枪鱼菜肴,耗费的不仅仅是一条鱼的生命。当像金枪鱼这样的鱼类从生态系统中消失时,海洋的食物链就会断裂。像鲨鱼这类通常以金枪鱼为食的动物,________。
这个消息或许很可怕,但从现在开始采取行动,能够阻止尚未发生的危害。世界组织正要求各国停止过度捕捞。蒙特雷湾水族馆为那些希望在不破坏环境的前提下保持健康的人们,提供了海鲜选择建议。
“如果你关心野生动物,首先花时间思考一下你自己的价值观和信念,”摩根说,“然后决定你要吃什么。”
