Fisheries include large industrial-scale operations with foreign fishermen who process their catch for export and commercial Sales, small-scale operations by local fishermen who primarily supply nearby markets, aquaculture farms which raise marine animals and fish in a maintained environment, and businesses that produce fish products.

Sea ice is commonly found in the Arctic and Antarctic where low air and water temperatures provide ideal conditions for ice formation and growth. Salinity, the amount of salt in seawater, determines the temperature at which sea water freezes. Although sea water is usually very salty, sea ice is practically salt-free. Why is this? When the water temperature dips to its freezing point (about 28.6°F), tiny ice particles form. Salt is not part of the ice crystals’ molecular Structure, so it is gradually released into the surrounding water. However, in extremely cold water, ice freezes rapidly, so salt cells are sometimes trapped before they are discarded. The cells then “migrate” through the ice, a process which takes up to a year. As ice crystals multiply, the water turns slushy and the surface freezes into thin sheets of ice. Wind and wave action break the sheets into pieces, push them together, and freeze them into thick solid masses of pack ice. Depending on the severity of the winter, the pack’s thickness is usually nine to ten feet. Pieces breaking from the pack present the greatest threat to ships transiting through polar waters. The Arctic produces 10,000 to 50,000 icebergs annually. The amount produced in the Antarctic regions is inestimable. 36.

The severity of the winter does not influence the thickness of sea icebergs. b. Ships transiting through polar waters are interested in sea icebergs. c. Every month, the Arctic produces 10,000 to 50,000 icebergs. d. We cannot estimate the amount of icebergs in the Antarctic regions. Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
