Answer 1

Question 1 fishing is ethical and should be allowed.

Fishing allows humans to continually fish in oceans and other bodies of water indefinitely for edible seafood. In the past, we have quickly overfished, causing damage to ecosystems and pushing them out of balance. Having a single species become endangered or extinct affects more than that species alone—it also affects other animals in the ecosystem that prey on or that are prey for the aforementioned species. Overfishing can cause a negative domino effect in water-based ocean systems that is difficult to stop. Although environmental concerns are chief among those pushing sustainable fishing, it is important to note that overfishing and damaging ecosystems also directly affects the seafood we eat. Overfishing can cause a lack of fish species, and it can also cause health issues for the remaining species. Those are a few of the reasons why more fisheries and harvesters around the world are focusing on sustainable fishing instead of just trying to get the biggest haul. Sustainable fishing allows us to keep eating delicious seafood long into the future, while also protecting the beautiful water based ecosystems that protect much of the life on Earth. More sustainable fisheries are popping up, where managers track seafood as populations are managed and kept up with local, state, and federal regulations. Most states now have strict regulations on commercial fishing and require fishing licenses to get started. The more education our harvesters and seafood lovers have, the better the chance sustainable fishing will catch on for good. Seafood eaters need to support the practice of sustainable fishing in order for it to really thrive. In the past few years, it looks like just that has happened, with more and more fishers turning to sustainable practices that benefit everyone. Hence fishing is ethical and should be allowed.

Question 2 fishing is unethical and should not be allowed.

I will describe it in four points

1.We may find it difficult to empathize with fishes and other aquatic animals since they are very different from humans physically, they live beneath the water, and we cannot perceive their vocalizations. However, numerous studies have shown that fishes have the capacity to suffer and feel pleasure, just like mammals, birds, reptiles and other animals.

2 Fishes suffer pain and seek out positive experiences.

Just like fishes, amphibians and a large number of invertebrates have the capacity to experience suffering and pleasure. Cephalopods such as octopuses have nervous systems very different from those of mammals; however, they are capable of solving problems more complex than those some mammals can solve. This seems to indicate their ability to have even more complex experiences than some mammals, but, more importantly, it means the claim that they aren’t sentient is not plausible.

3.And various studies have shown that a variety of crustaceans like lobsters and crabs respond to pain, have biological structures capable of mediating pain, and exhibit cognitive processes that would require enough centralization of the nervous system to be able to feel pain.

4 .Because animals routinely exploited by humans are sentient beings with the capacity to have positive and negative experiences, the practice of capturing and killing them deprives them of opportunities for enjoyment and causes them significant suffering.  So fishing is unethical should not be allowed
