What are the consequences of sport fishing?
There are various consequences of sport fishing. The first is the direct influence on the fish that is caught. Indirectly, problems arise because a fish that has swallowed a hook may become the prey of predatory fish or other animals like birds. Animals are also victimized by fishing lines lying around, with or without hooks. Furthermore, sport fishing releases a sizeable quantity of lead into nature. Lead is one of the most poisonous heavy metals that can have negative consequences for animals and people alike. Check the external links to see these consequences in text and images.
