Fishing grounds are concentrated in high latitudes because of:

  1. Great length of indented coastline — creates many bays and estuaries rich in nutrients.
  2. Extensive continental shelves — shallow areas with abundant marine life.
  3. Water temperatures lower than 20°C — cooler waters are rich in oxygen and nutrients, supporting fish populations.

Sparse population (point 4) is not a direct factor affecting fishing grounds.

So, the correct reasons are 1, 2, and 3 — option (A).
