Q1. Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Fishing can be done only in freshwater ecosystems. Statement (II): Fish is a cheap source of animal protein for our food. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Explanation
Fishing is not limited to freshwater ecosystems. It is carried out in rivers, lakes and reservoirs, but also in marine and brackish-water environments such as seas, estuaries and coastal areas. Therefore the first statement is incorrect. The second statement is correct because fish is widely regarded as an affordable source of animal protein and also supplies useful nutrients such as fats, minerals and vitamins. The choices saying both statements are correct, both are incorrect, or only the first statement is correct do not match this evaluation.
