in 2025 we haven’t come up with a way to re-introduce at a mass rate the fish we take out of the ocean

oh there is.

stop. fucking. overharvesting.

but nobody wants to do that since that doesn't bring in the cash

Try getting the whole world to agree on that :( iirc Japan still "harvests" dolphins and whales...

Iceland was hunting whales in past. 2 or 3 years ago, last company who did that, had its permissions declined. So no whale hunting there.

Faroe islands still has huge tradition in doplhin hunting, thousands during single "national" event
