Three years ago, a study of overfishing led to sharp debate.It warned that the world’s ocean fish could be almost gone by the middle of the century.Now, a new study offers more hope.It shows that the risk of fisheries(渔场) collap has recently decread in some areas-some, but not all.

Boris Worm at Dalhousie University in Canada and Ray Hilborn at the University of Washington in Seattle were lead authors of the new study.

Yet, in all, almost two-thirds of fish populations studied worldwide still need rebuilding.
Only two areas did not have an overfishing problem in either the new study or the earlier one.They are New Zealand and the American state of Alaska.
The new study found that overfishing has been reduced in Canada’s Newfoundland-Labrador area and in Iceland and southern Australia.It also found improvements in the northeastern United States and the California Current that flows south along the West Coast.
The study found that better controls are still needed in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Bay of Biscay between France and Spain.
The findings from two years of rearch appear in the journal Science.
Using nets that let smaller fish escape and agreeing not to fish in certain areas can help reduce overfishing.The study showed that the measures helped fish populations grow in Kenya.
But one of the authors of the study, from the Wildlife Conrvation Society, says fisheries in Africa face another threat.Most countries in Africa, he says, are lling fishing rights to industrialized nations which catch large amounts of afood.
The study shows what happened when industrialized nations incread restrictions on fishing in their own waters.Seafood companies moved their boats to developing countries with fewer restrictions.
