There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

1) There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.
I think this is wrong because it is comparing legal limits to cod and haddock and it is also wrong because it says 'their depletion' vs its depletion. it should reference singular monkfish, correct?


2) There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are overfished
again i think this is wrong because the sentence is comparing legal limits on size of monkfish to cod and haddock, non parallel comparison.... also, 'they' is unclear pronoun

3) There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.
unclear pronoun, 'its' and again comparing legal limits of size of cod and haddock to monkfish

4) Unlike cod and hadoock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.
again non parallel comparison
5) Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.
un parallel comparison

how can 1 be the correct answer?
