Wild tuna, a species of large ocean fish, have decreased in number because of overfishing Recently, attempts have been made to farm tuna by feeding the fish in ocean cages until they become large enough for sale. However, tuna farming has faced several problems and criticisms. First, female tuna do not lay eggs in captivity, so tuna farmers must capture large quantities of young wild tuna to stock their farms, further reducing wild tuna populations. These young tuna are caged and fed until they are large enough to be sold. Since the captured females in tuna farms cannot lay eggs to replace the tuna that are sold, tuna farmers continue to catch young wild tuna to keep their farms going and so worsen the decline in wild tuna populations. Second, tuna raised on farms are very expensive because they depend on a costly, high-protein food derived from other fish. Tuna feed almost exclusively on small fish, which supply them with the proteins and nutrients they require. A single tuna can grow more than four meters long, weigh close to 700 kilograms, and eat 70 kilograms of food a day! It is unlikely that tuna farms can remain profitable while supplying so much expensive food for the tuna. Third tuna confined to ocean cages are likely to become infested with parasites, organisms that feed on and weaken the animal they attach to. Tuna farmers off the coast of southern Australia have had problems with infestations of blood flukes, a type of parasite that lives within the blood vessels and heart of infected fish. Parasite infestations weaken tuna, slow their growth, and can even cause death, usually by making them susceptible to other diseases. Tuna farms in southern Australia have had 10 percent of their tuna die before they could be sold.

In the reading material, the author cites three reasons to support the viewpoint that it is undoubtfully that tuna farming has faced some problems and criticisims. Nevertheless, the lecturer argues that scientists have provided some promising evidence to solve these concerns above. First and foremost, the author argues that even the females tuna cannot lay eggs, farmers often capture them, leading to the drecrasing of wild tuna populations. However, the lecturer holds an opposite stand that scientists have achieved breakthrough about captivity of female tuna. So in the future, it is possible for female tuna to lay eggs constantly. As a result, the decline in wild tuna populations should disappear. Secondly, the lecturer casts the doubt on that because of high-protein food deriving, tuna is too expensive to raise, demonstrating that farmers could supply them food from plant rather than fish. Protein and other nurtient that tuna need not only necessarily provide from fish, but also exhaust from some plants. It gives sufficient energy to tuna as well as food derving from fish. Finally, according to reading material, usually, tuna get infested with parasites. On the other hand, scientists have discovered approaches to treat parasites. With possibility of getting infestation, tuna needs to get closely to the food source. In order to avoid being susceptible to diseases, it is convenient for tuna to remove in deeper water. In this way, the phenomenon of infesting with parasites could be basicly stopped.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

In the reading material, the author highlights three significant problems and criticisms associated with tuna farming. However, the lecturer presents promising solutions to these concerns, demonstrating that researchers are making progress in addressing these issues.

Firstly, the reading passage states that female tuna do not lay eggs in captivity, leading to a decrease in wild tuna populations as farmers capture them for their farms. In contrast, the lecturer reveals that scientists have made a breakthrough by injecting captive female tuna with hormones, enabling them to lay eggs consistently without posing health risks. This advancement could potentially eliminate the need to capture wild tuna and prevent further decline in their populations.

Secondly, the author argues that raising tuna is expensive due to their high-protein diet derived from other fish. The lecturer counters this point by explaining that plant-based sources can also provide the necessary protein and nutrients for captive tuna. By processing high-protein plants into an inexpensive food source for tuna, farmers can reduce costs while still meeting the nutritional needs of these fish.

Lastly, the reading passage mentions that tuna confined to ocean cages are prone to parasite infestations, which weaken them and make them susceptible to diseases. The lecturer offers a solution by describing how scientists have discovered methods to treat parasite infestations effectively. For instance, moving tuna cages farther offshore into deeper waters has been shown to significantly reduce blood fluke infestations among caged tuna since these parasites cannot thrive away from shorelines. This strategy essentially eliminates the risk of parasite infestations and improves overall fish health.

Overall, despite the problems outlined in the reading passage regarding tuna farming, the lecture provides evidence of promising solutions being developed by researchers to address these concerns effectively. (290 words)

Nutzerbeispiel

The reading passage points out three problems faced regarding tuna farming: inability to lay eggs in captivity, expensiveness of raising tuna and vulnerability to parasites.However, the lecture suggests that these three concerns can be resolved. Firstly, the reading indicates that tuna farming will decrease wild tuna Population because female tunas cannot produce off springs naturally when being captured. The listening mentions that this can be done by injecting a kind of hormone into female tunas' body and they therefore will produce eggs constantly, which allows female tuna to reproduce during captivity. Also,the process can be done without generating harm on either female tunas or baby tunas. Secondly, the lecture says that there is an inexpensive way to feed tuna. This can be done extracting a kind of protein need for feeding tunas from a kind of plant that contains it. Also, since the plants and the process of extraction are not expensive, the use of plant content for feeding is practical. Thus, using 70 kilogram of small fishes everyday to feed tuna everyday can be costly, but using materials from plants can address this problem. Thirdly, the professor suggests that tuna can avoid infecting parasites, which caused10 percent of tuna dying in tuna farms in southern Australia before being sold because of infection tuna population. This can be done by moving cages containing tunas away from seashores to deeper offshore. Since blood flukes that infecting tuna cannot be alive in offshore areas, they cannot infect tuna population when they are offshore.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage highlights three major issues associated with tuna farming: the inability of captive tuna to lay eggs, the high cost of raising tuna, and their susceptibility to parasites. However, the lecture presents solutions to each of these concerns.

Firstly, the reading asserts that wild tuna populations will decline due to female tunas' inability to reproduce in captivity. The lecture counters this by explaining that scientists can induce egg-laying in captive female tunas by injecting them with specific hormones. This method allows for consistent reproduction without causing harm to either the adult or offspring tunas, thus preventing further depletion of wild populations.

Secondly, the lecture proposes an affordable alternative for feeding captive tuna. Instead of relying on costly small fish as their primary food source, a plant-based protein can be extracted and used as a more economical option. This plant-derived food provides all the necessary nutrients for the tuna while keeping costs low, addressing the financial concerns mentioned in the reading.

Lastly, the professor suggests a solution for protecting tuna from parasite infestations that have led to significant losses in southern Australian farms. By relocating tuna cages further offshore into deeper waters, they can effectively avoid blood fluke infections. This is because blood flukes require specific resources found near shorelines for their survival; moving cages offshore deprives them of these resources and prevents them from infecting captive tuna populations.

Revised essay with inline explanations:

The reading passage points out highlights three problems faced regarding major issues associated with tuna farming: the inability of captive tuna to lay eggs in captivity, expensiveness (clarified the subject), the high cost of raising tuna and vulnerability to parasites.However, tuna, and their susceptibility to parasites. However, the lecture suggests presents solutions to each of these concerns.

Firstly, the reading asserts that these three concerns wild tuna populations will decline due to female tunas' inability to reproduce in captivity (clarified the issue). The lecture counters this by explaining that scientists can induce egg-laying in captive female tunas by injecting them with specific hormones (simplified and clarified). This method allows for consistent reproduction without causing harm to either the adult or offspring tunas (clarified subjects), thus preventing further depletion of wild populations.

Secondly, the lecture proposes an affordable alternative for feeding captive tuna (simplified and clarified). Instead of relying on costly small fish as their primary food source, a plant-based protein can be resolved. ¶ Firstly, the reading indicates that tuna farming will decrease wild tuna Population because female tunas cannot produce off springs naturally when being captured. The listening mentions that this can be done by injecting extracted and used as a kind of hormone into female tunas' body and they therefore will produce eggs constantly, which allows female tuna to reproduce during captivity. Also,the process can be done without generating harm on either female tunas or baby tunas. ¶ Secondly, the lecture says that there is an inexpensive way to feed tuna. more economical option (simplified and clarified). This can be done extracting a kind of protein need for feeding tunas from a kind of plant that contains it. Also, since the plants and the process of extraction are not expensive, the use of plant content for feeding is practical. Thus, using 70 kilogram of small fishes everyday to feed tuna everyday can be costly, but using materials from plants can address this problem. ¶ Thirdly, plant-derived food provides all the necessary nutrients for the tuna while keeping costs low, addressing the financial concerns mentioned in the reading.

Lastly, the professor suggests a solution for protecting tuna from parasite infestations that tuna have led to significant losses in southern Australian farms (clarified context). By relocating tuna cages further offshore into deeper waters, they can effectively avoid infecting parasites, which caused10 percent of tuna dying in tuna farms in southern Australia before being sold blood fluke infections (simplified and clarified). This is because of infection tuna population. This can be done by blood flukes require specific resources found near shorelines for their survival; moving cages containing tunas away offshore deprives them of these resources and prevents them from seashores to deeper offshore. Since blood flukes that infecting tuna cannot be alive in offshore areas, they cannot infect tuna population when they are offshore.captive tuna populations (clarified reasoning).
