▶ Topic : Though not eaten by humans, menhaden are the main source of fishmeal, which is used as food for chickens and for pen-raised fish, like salmon. Because menhaden are approaching extinction, many states have passed laws restricting the fishing of menhaden so that the population can have time to recover and to continue to supply cheap fishmeal to the industries that depend on it. But there are some disadvantages to such government limits, and there are other solutions that may yield the same results. ... |

▶ Your Answer :
Both the reading passage and the listening are discussing the topic of the laws restricting the fishing of menhaden. However, their perspectives are different. The reading argues that there are three drawbacks in limiting the fishing of menhaden, while the professor in the listening disagrees and says otherwise.
Firstly, the reading states that menhaden's extinction is attributed not to overfishing but to the excessive number of striped bass, menhaden's natural predator. The passage also mentions that thus, the government should restrict on striped bass. On the other hand, the professor debunks the claim by stating that striped bass is part of a food chain, so if the government imposes controls on striped bass it will cause side effects on the ecological system.
Secondly, the reading further describes that people relying on menhaden for a living are affected by the such governmental limits. Moreover, the passage points out that the pertinent industries are also indirectly influenced by limiting the fishing of menhaden. However, the professor contradicts by saying that the effect on the communities which depend on menhaden economically is temporary. According to the professor, people will adjust to the change by searching for other alternatives for their economic welfare.
Finally, the reading contends that menhaden take large amounts of algae for food, and this role is imperative in the ecosystem. To prove this point, the writer asserts that eating algae facilitate menhaden's growth and consequently, striped bass can consume nutritious prey, menhaden. Once again, the professor argues by stressing that controlling controling the population of striped bass will disrupt the food chain. The professor also insists that striped bass will forage other replacements instead of menhaden, if striped stiped bass does do not satisfy with menhaden due to lack of Omega 3 oils. |
