Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to various studies, for every ton of fish caught for animal consumption, only around 200 lbs. are available for human consumption. This is due to the fact that a significant amount of fish is wasted as bycatch or used in the production of fish meal and fish oil, which are primarily used as feed for farmed animals. Therefore, choice C (200) is the correct answer.
