（单词翻译）

 文本：

The fish are scooped¹ up from the water, a tonne or two at a time. Every last fish from this school of 7,000 yellow fin² and skip jack³ tuna is plucked from the water. With fishing techniques now so efficient, and with ever more vessels⁵ plying⁶ the Pacific, there is real concern among biologists that even the resilient skip jack may begin to decline. This vessel⁴ is not one of the newcomers. It's a Papua New Guinea-flagged ship, fishing in their territorial⁷ waters. So it's subject to catch limits and regulations that are amongst the strictest in the Pacific, designed to ensure that tuna fishing remains⁸ sustainable. But New Guinea's fishermen are concerned about the increasing numbers of foreign vessels now fishing for Pacific tuna. They were the first nation to propose that the high seas pockets beyond their national waters be declared marine⁹ reserves, as now advocated by Greenpeace.
