Most of the UK’s sushi comes from the Indian Ocean, but according to Professor Pauly we now only have 2-3 percent of what we had 200 years ago.全球对寿司的需求量增大意味着用来做寿司的鱼类将被过度捕捞。英国多数做寿司的鱼来自印度洋，但是据保利教授介绍，我们现在能在印度洋捕捞的寿司鱼类(金枪鱼)数量只有200年前的2%到3%。“We are in permanent crisis if you look at it in historic terms,” he warned.他警告说：“从历史的角度来看，我们正处于永久性的危机当中。”Professor Pauly and Dr Zeller believe it is our love of healthy tuna that’s causing the problems in our oceans.保利教授和泽勒博士认为，我们的海洋出现这些问题，正是因为我们太爱吃健康的金枪鱼的缘故。The fish is popular no
