The summary must be one sentence that is less than 75 words. that is why it is a long sentence.

PTE summary question: What do you think about this summary? I need your kind help :)
The following is my answer to one of the PTE summary question, I need your suggestions and corrections for my summary.The summary must be one sentence that is less than 75 words. that is why it is a long sentence.
Fish, a healthy alternative to meat, (1)was largely consumed in the last century, especially during the last 30 years, in a way that experts predict large-scale extinction and will have an irreversibly damaging effect on (2)the entire ecosystems unless governments(?) make more efforts to prevent overfishing in the world's waters.
If I may ask, did it need to be one full long sentence? Or do periods (.) need to be placed?
(1)-although "is" is correct, since the information provided afterwards is in past tense("in the last century"), "was" is more appropriate.
(2)-"The entire ecosystems" presents an issue with plural vs. single. In this case you can leave out the "The" if you are talking about a single (1) ecosystem. Hope this helps!
