Question

the condition in east coast : Until recently, the east coast waters of Canada used to be one of the world greatest fishing grounds because of the great conditions the waters had. All of the great conditions combined created favorable waters for fish. Because of Atlantic Canada’s wide continental shelf (less than 200 meters in depth) and the shallow banks (less than 150 meters deep) within the shelf, the sun was able to penetrate to the bottom, causing a growth of plankton which attracts many fish. The east coast’s largest and best fishing region is called the Grand Banks, which has an area of 282 500 square km. This area is bigger than the island of Newfoundland which is 111 400 square km. The growth of plankton in this area was very easy because the meeting of the warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador currant caused a churn up from the bottom of the ocean of essential nutrients needed for plankton’s growth. Overall, for centuries the waters off the east coast have been known to be one of the world’s greatest fishing grounds for centuries. Two types of fisheries used in the east coast are the inshore and offshore fishery.
