Summary
Overfishing has been a long-term question in Britain, which results in the prices of fish has become increasingly high, and it also caused the rise of fish and chips' prices, which is a favorite dish of British. However, some divers have come across giant fish on North Sea oil rigs as they are working in darkness a hundred feet under water to repair it. At that time, they have been frightened out of their wits by those giant fish. In this case, some special cages were made to protect them from these monsters. The monsters are not sharks or killer whales, but it turn out to be our favorite eating varieties such as cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes. Some experts have drawn three factors from this phenomenon: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the abundant supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs. Consequently, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water. Who eats who?
