    		In the 1970s, 100-200,000 dolphins were killed each year. After the gear changes were implemented, the mortalities went down. In 1990, 52,000 dolphins were killed in the ETP fisheries, in 1992 16,000, in 1993 3,600 and in 1994 4,000.

    Which is the only place where Chinese fishing nets are used outside of China?

    I am a fisherman. The sea where I trawl is running out of fish because too many fish are being caught. The fishing association has ruled that smaller nets with larger holes will be introduced immediately. Being selfish, and not trusting the other 1000 fishermen to change their nets, I do not change my net. This is on the premise that if I am the only one who does not change to the less efficient net, it will not significantly affect the overall outcome if I catch just a few fish more, and, if I am the only one who does change to the less efficient net, it will not significantly affect the overall outcome if I catch just a few fish less. What "concept" am I describing?

    Is there any commercial fishing in UK’s largest lake, Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland?
