Solution

  1. Decreasing the size of the holes in fishing nets is not an example of sustainable fishing. This is because smaller holes can trap younger fish, preventing them from reaching maturity and reproducing, which is not sustainable.

  2. Eutrophication is caused by the excessive use of fertilisers. When these fertilisers are washed into bodies of water, they can cause an overgrowth of algae, which depletes the water's oxygen and makes it uninhabitable for many forms of aquatic life.

  3. The term 'extinction' means that a species has completely died out. This means there are no living members of that species left anywhere in the world.

  4. Introducing non-indigenous species does not help to protect endangered species. In fact, it can often harm them, as the non-indigenous species may outcompete the endangered species for resources, or even prey on them.
