[KN] The depletion of fish stocks means fishing businesses cannot operate effectively reducing output in the economy.
[APP] For example, fishing companies in coastal towns may close down leaving workers unemployed.
[AN] This unemployment reduces incomes and standard of living , lowers spending in the economy, and increases government welfare costs, all of which negatively impact economy.

(KN) The depletion of a natural resource, such as fish stocks can reduce production and harm industries that depend on it.
(APP) For example, if fish stocks run outfishing companies may be forced to close down in coastal areas.
(AN) This leads to unemployment rising in coastal towns, local businesses that rely on fishing also suffer losses nd the government may face higher costs providing financial support or creating alternative jobs.

[KN] reduces the availability of raw materials needed for production.
[APP] For example, if fish stocks decline in a country like Japan, the fishing industry will struggle to supply enough fish to markets and restaurants.
[AN] This can lead to job losses in the primary sector and secondary sector. Reduced supply increases prices. The country may need to import more fish, worsening the balance of payments and reducing economic growth.

[KN] Reduces the availability of raw materials from the primary sector.
[APP] For example, falling fish stocks will directly harm the fishing industry, causing job losses for fishermen and related workers. This reduces household incomes and may lower consumer spending in coastal communities.
[AN]As a result, the wider economy could suffer from reduced employment, which would directly reduce the living standards of the community, as the can not afford to buy the goods they used to.

[KN] Deplation of a nature resource would lead to unemployment.
[APP] For instanc, all the companies using fish to produce would have to shut down due to fish being depleted, the employees working in those companies would loss their jobs.
[AN] Thus the government will have to pay the unemployees who are struggling with finance leading to less funds being speand on the country.

KN: Depletion of a natural resource means it is being used up faster than it can be replaced.
AP: For example, fish stocks falling due to overfishing.
AN: This can reduce jobs and income in fishing industries, it can lower exports and government revenue from the resource, and it can push up prices for consumers as supply becomes limited.

[KN] Depletion of natural resources reduces the supply available for industries that rely on them.

[APP] For instance if fish stocks fall, the fishing industry in Norway may have fewer fish to sell to supermarkets and exporters.

[AN] This could lead to job losses, lower export earnings, and reduced government tax revenue, negatively affecting overall economic growth.

[KN]If a natural resource like fish runs out, there will be less raw material for businesses to manufacture into goods.
[APP]For example, if fish stocks get low in a country like Norway, there won’t be enough fish for factories to manufacture or to sell abroad.
[AN]This can cause people to lose jobs, reduces worker's incomes, and the government will collect less tax which will also affect the country's economy in general.

[kn] The depletion of a natural resource, such as fish stocks, means that the supply of that resource falls, making it harder for businesses in that industry to operate profitably [app] for example if fish stocks decrease pakistan may not be able to get enough fish to meet the demand of there economy [an] this would reduce output in the economy , reduce the number of exports which would lead to a decrease in foreign exchange

[KN] The depletion of fish stocks can harm the economy as fishermen may lose income and jobs due to reduced catches. [APP] Consumers might face higher prices because of the shortage of supply. Industries linked to fishing, such as restaurants, exports, and food processing, can also be affected, reducing overall economic activity. [AAP] This may lower tax revenue for the government and increase unemployment benefits, creating extra pressure on public finances.

KN: THe depletion of natural resources can enforce unemployment.
APP: For Example a rural worker who only knows fishing can not workproperly in other sectors if the fishing industry is reduced due to less fish.
AN: This can lower house hold incomes, force the government to introduce training programs and will also ruin law and order situation due to unemployment.
