Which of the following is true about the catches of Pacific area?
Pacific island nations have vowed to oppose US efforts to increase its catch limit in the world’s largest tuna fishery, saying the proposal does nothing to improve sustainable fishing. The United States is expected to try to increase its quota for bigeye tuna at a meeting of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) taking place in Honolulu this Week. The meeting brings together 26 nations to determine fishing policy in the Pacific, which accounts for almost 60 percent of the global tuna catch, worth about $6. 0 billion annually. It is mostly made up of small island nations but also includes so-called "distant-water nations" that come from a far afield as Europe, China, the United States, South Korea and Japan to fish Pacific tuna. Island nations regularly accuse them of being reluctant to curb the lucrative industry in the interests of long-term conservation.
President Donald Trump’s administration will push this year to catch more bigeye — one of the most sought-after species of tuna for sashimi — as a reward for complying with the commission’s monitoring rules.
All fishing fleets are supposed to carry independent fisheries observers on at least five percent of their boats as means of ensuring quotas are not exceeded and to collect accurate data. However, most nations aside from the United States ignore the monitoring requirement.
Ludwig Kumoru, chief executive of a Pacific island grouping called the Parties to the Nauru Agreement, said the US bigeye quota should not be lifted simply because it was following the rules. "Good reporting should not be used as a condition to increase catch, "
he said Monday. "We should instead concentrate on bringing conservation measures that actually support sustainable fishing. "
The head of the Pacific Islands Forum’s fisheries agency FFA, Manu Tupou-Roosen, said her aim was to "maintain the strength of the tropical tuna measure (protections) and not to weaken the existing provisions".
选项
A、It accounts for almost 66 percent of the global tuna catch annually.
B、It accounts for nearly 16 percent of the global tuna catch annually.
C、It’s worth about $6, 000 million annually.
D、It’s worth about $6, 000, 000 annually.
答案
C
解析
数字信息的找寻和判断。原文“The meeting brings together 26 nations to determine fishing policy in the Pacific,which accounts for almost 60 percent of the global tuna catch,worth about $6.0 billion annually”,意思是“这次会议召集了26个国家来决定太平洋的渔业政策,太平洋金枪鱼捕捞量占全球的近60%,其每年价值约60亿美元”。由此可见,选项C数字信息与原文内容相符,6 000 million等于6.0 billion,所以该项是正确答案。
