阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。A report by World Wildlife Fund(WWF)is calling for urgent efforts to strengthen regulation of the seafood sector, fearing that the love for seafood is killing off dozens of species that rely on it for food. Kate Norgrove, Executive Director of Advocacy and Campaigns at WWF-UK, said: "The ocean is the blue heart of our planet and we ignore its health at our peril. Protecting this precious resource should be the top priority of every single fishery around the world. "The report, titled "Risky Seafood Business", has quantified(确定……的数量)the total volume of seafood eaten by Britons for the first time. It claims that in 2019,887,000 tonnes of seafood was eaten by people in the UK—the equivalent(等量物)of 5. 2 billion portions of fish and chips. Whitefish, including haddock and cod, accounted for almost a third of the fish consumed. The vast majority of this seafood was fished or farmed outside of UK waters. The report looked at the supply chains of 33 popular seafood items, including haddock, trout, and mussels. Some of these species were found to be relatively low risk in terms of production and consumption. However, others—including swordfish, tuna, and some crab species—were assessed as a high risk across multiple areas, including climate and ecosystem impacts. Across all species groups, more than 250 Endangered, Threatened and Protected(ETP)species have been directly impacted by fisheries supplying UK markets, according to the report. This includes whales, dolphins, seabirds, and sharks. Based on the findings, WWF is calling for a "concerted and collaborative effort" to address these issues and to ensure all of the seafood produced and consumed in the UK comes from sustainable sources by 2030.If you're trying to be more sustainable, the Marine Conservation Society suggests there are several simple seafood swaps(替换物)you can make. This includes having mackerel instead of tuna, and farmed trout instead of salmon. Meanwhile, if you usually enjoy mussels, it may be more sustainable to go for prawns.
