Saving the World's Fish

Last month near Newfoundland on Canada's eastern coast, a Canadian police boat fired its guns at a Spanish  fishing boat.   Canada is a (1)..................... , peace-loving country, and the world was surprised to see Canada act in this unusual way.  What was it all about?  Was Canada planning to go to war with Spain?

Of course, Canada doesn't (2).....................  want a war with Spain or any other country.  But what it does want is to save the world's supply of fish, and Canada thinks the Spanish are catching too many.  For centuries, the sea near New-foundland was one of the richest fishing areas in the world, and ships from all over the world caught millions of fish there every year.  But as more and more boats came, the numbers got smaller and smaller.  In the 1980s, it became clear that if the fishing continued, the supply of fish would soon (3)..................................... completely.   Governments all over the world have recognized the problem, and recently they agreed to (4)...........................  the number of fishing boats in the area.  Limiting the fishing gives the few fish that (5).................................... a chance to lay eggs and increase their numbers.  It is hoped that after a few years, the (6).................................... of fish will be much greater, and maybe even return to normal levels.

The agreement is good for the future of the world fishing industry, but it has been bad news for the fisherman of Canada.  Thousands of Newfoundland fisherman had to stop doing the only work they knew, and unemployment rose to over 15%.  Most other countries have kept to the international agreement to do less fishing in the Newfoundland area, but unfortunately, Spain has (7)....................... .  That's why the Canadians are so angry. 

Does this (8).................................... between the Canadians and the Spanish have any relation to fishing in Oman?  Perhaps it does.  Like the Spanish, the Japanese have little (9).................................... for international fishing agreements, and there are lots of Japanese  fishing boats in Omani  waters.  How many fish are the Japanese catching?  Are they catching more than they need? Are they using nets that allow the young fish through so they can grow up and lay eggs?   Most importantly, will there be enough fish left in Omani waters ten years from now?  Certainly, these are important (10).................................... that need to be answered.
