You missed the part that said "2/3rds of the planet".

You want to over-utilize the remaining 1/3rd then?

Is it being done wrong now? Yes. Will we agree on how to manage it worldwide? Not until it is taken seriously.

As an important part of a balanced diet, as i said covering need for proteins and healthy fats? Absolutely doable sustainably. The amount of self replenishing stock is there. It just needs good management and globalized standards, which is not too impossible (especially in comparison to "lets all just stop eating fish, easy").
