"I will tell you this. You may believe me or not, or you may go and ask our partners. It is our advantage we never indulge in double dealing in relations with anybody.

University of Washington researchers, populations of older fish have dropped by 72 percent on average. If fish don’t live long enough to reproduce successfully, the entire food chain would collapse, with animals that eat fish being the first to succumb. Nearly one fifth of the planet’s animal protein intake is fish. Those in poorer countries who can’t afford protein sources like chicken or meat rely on fish for sustenance, if it was gone, poverty, malnutrition and starvation would climb dramatically. Marine life also helps to regulate the ocean by filtering toxins and keeping pollution and algal blooms under control.
