The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published (发表) the findings.The scientists say the common way called long line（多钩长线） fishing is especially harmful to large fish. This way includes many fishing lines that are connected (连接) to one boat. If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers.
