It was easy, tho it was just more common sense then biology for some of the questions

Majority of the paper, I only struggled with the sodium hydrogencarbonate question to be honest.

To be honest that was one of the easiest for me. The one on trophic responses was good too, but I struggled with the nervous system anf the 6 marker on fish stocks.

The one describing changes of the amount of mass of wild fish fished per year, or something like that?

Just general things the government could have of done such as; restricted area where fish live, put a limit on the amount of fish allowed to be fished, create conservations for the wild fish etc...

Wow lucky you. At least from what you said I picked up the marks on the fish. If the grade threshholds are fair, I should be able to get an A

For the fish one I put use a flagship species to fund its protection and I put make it an endangered/threatened species therefore illegal to fish and I also said create conservation areas and also introduce an organism that kills the fishes competitiors and its predators. Would this be right?

those ****ing fish :angry:

i put legal restrictions on fishing amounts, manually modifying or placing fish populations in oceans/rivers, greater encouragement by governments for vegetarianism, and some other stuff I can't remember rn. what about that rhyscosa single-cell organism, or whatever it was called..??
