Consider the following statements:
(1) Most of the fishing grounds occur in areas where the continental shelf is wide.
(2) Fishing activity is well developed in warm tropical waters.
(3) Mixing of warm and cold currents bring plant nutrients for fish.
(4) Inland fisheries are more significant than other types in India.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 and 4

  2. 1 and 3

  3. 2, 3 and 4

  4. 1, 2 and 3
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Fishing grounds are rich where the continental shelf is wide (1) and where warm and cold currents mix (3), as this promotes plankton growth. Statement 2 is incorrect because cold waters are generally more productive than warm tropical waters. Statement 4 is incorrect as marine fisheries are more significant than inland fisheries in India.

A system is in ______ when it is neither growing nor getting smaller but continues to be in complete operation.

  1. dynamic equilibrium

  2. equilibrium

  3. closed state

  4. feedback equilibrium

Identify the incorrect statement.

  1. There are six widely distributed species reared by pastoral nomads: sheep, goats, camels, cattle, horses and donkeys

  2. Goats are common in the rugged terrain with scanty grasses

  3. Sheep are reared in low rainfall areas with short grasses

  4. Cattle are reared in very low rainfall areas with scanty vegetation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Cattle are typically reared in areas with sufficient pasture and water, not in very low rainfall areas with scanty vegetation, which is more suitable for camels or goats. The other statements accurately describe the environmental preferences of the listed livestock.

The reasons for underdevelopment of fishing industry in tropics are:
(1) Tropical fish are oily and less popular as food.
(2) Continental shelves are almost absent.
(3) the different species are usually mixed and shoals of same species are rare.
(4) the tropical fishing industry is less mechanised.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

  1. 1, 2 and 3

  2. 1, 2 and 4

  3. 1, 3 and 4

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Tropical fishing is hindered by the lack of broad continental shelves, the mixing of many species (making large-scale netting of a single species difficult), and lower levels of mechanization. Tropical fish are not inherently oily or less popular; in fact, many are highly prized.

The world's 17 major commercial  fishing grounds are located in ______.

  1. warm waters of the Southern hemisphere in comparatively lower latitudes

  2. cool waters of the Northern hemisphere in comparatively higher latitudes

  3. Both 'a' and 'b'

  4. A widespread area near the poles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The world's major commercial fishing grounds are predominantly located in the cool waters of the Northern hemisphere in higher latitudes. Nutrient mixing occurs abundantly in these colder zones due to upwelling and convergence of cold and warm currents.
