    7,600 fish

    explanation:

    to know the percentage we divide 190,000 by 100.

    Which is 1,900 per 1%

    now that we know that, we need to know how much is 12*8.

    12*8=96

    By 12 years the percentage has lowered to 96%

    Now we need to know what 1,900*96 is.

    1,900*96=182,400

    Now we subtract that with 190,000

    190,000-182,400=7,600
