Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To address the issue of overfishing in the Atlantic Cod Fishery, Canada implemented a total allowable catch (TAC) limit based on the concept of maximum sustainable yield (MSY). This involves setting a limit on the amount of fish that can be caught, which is determined by scientific estimates of the size of the fish population and the amount that can be harvested without compromising the sustainability of the species. This quota system is meant to prevent overfishing and ensure the long-term viability of the fishery. The other options (A, B, and D) do not directly address the issue of overfishing or promote sustainable fishing practices.
