Fish Know to Avoid the Spear

Marine biologists have discovered that in some area where fish are hunted with spear guns they are more wary and they keep away from swimmers. They have observed that these fish are ussually from the areas arround devloped countries. In developing countries, fisshing has stayed at the traditional line and rod method where in other areas they fish with spears, rods and even net to catch a large amount of fish. Scientist measured the fly speed-the speed it takes a fish to swim away- by measurind how fast it took the fish to swim away just by seeing the diver. The fish from developing countries ussually reacted much slower because there arn't ussualy much under water diver hunting for fish.


Opinion
These fish are used to living in parts where there is a lot of fishing, ussually, in highly domesticated and over populated areas. It's curious how as soon as a diver enters the water, the fish quickly swims to the protected area of the water where fishing is prohibited. Unlike in other areas where fish are caught for the days meal, in these areas a very lare amount of fish is caught for exporting to different countries and to be canned or sold in grocery stores. These animnals have adapted to their environment instaed of apandoning a place where they are aware of prepadors, and in this case it's us humans. Even though they have adapteed to their environment these areashave and will always have a smaller ammont of fish than other parts of the water.
