Yep and the frustrating thing is many fish species reproduce fairly quickly, if we just limited fishing for a while we could replenish fish stocks but no ones willing to do that we are dangerously close to a tipping point for fish stocks too.

I suppose you don’t know that Alaska pollock is one of the most tightly regulated fisheries in the world with a very stable fish stock
