PrepTest 88, Section 3, Question 25
The technical sophistication of commercial fishing equipment increased steadily from 1960 through 2010, which enabled the commercial fishing industry to harvest a greater percentage of the total amount of fish, by weight, in the world's oceans in each succeeding year during that time. The commercial fishing industry's harvest, by weight, increased steadily from 1960 until 1995 but did not increase after 1995.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?
After 1995, the number of fish harvested each year by the commercial fishing industry increased, but the average weight of each fish harvested decreased.
After 2010, improvements in commercial fishing equipment did not enable the fishing industry to harvest a greater percentage of the total amount of fish, by weight, in the world's oceans.
The total amount of fish, by weight, in the world's oceans decreased during the period from 1995 to 2010.
The commercial fishing industry's harvest, by weight, was significantly lower in 2010 than it was in 1995.
No significant improvements in commercial fishing equipment occurred before 1960.
