Read the following text and fill in each gap with a suitable word based on the information of the text.
Fish population is in serious danger from global warming. Climate change is increasing the water temperature in rivers, lakes and seas. This means there is less food and oxygen available for fish. It also means the fish may not grow fully and may have fewer offsprings. Some fishes will become extinct if temperatures rise even by one or two degrees Celsius. Climate change increases the pressure on fish population. Fishes are one of the world's most valuable biological assets. Forty percent of people in the world eat fish as their main source of protein. If we fail to reduce green house gas emissions, we will increase the pressure on fish. As a result, people who depend on fish will suffer from hunger and poverty.
1. Global warming is causing serious threat to fish population. It is climate change which is the cause of the (a)- of water temperature in rivers, lakes and seas. For this reason, available food and oxygen for fish in these water (b)- will be less than requirement. For the same reason, the growth of fish may not be full and off springs may not be (c)-. So the pressure on fish population is increasing due to climate change. Fishes are one of the world’s most valuable biological assets. The (d)- of people in the world eating fish as their main source of protein is 40%. In case of our failure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the pressure on fish will be increased and consequently people (e)- on fish will suffer from hunger and poverty.
