Collapse of all Commercially Exploited Fish by Mid-Century
Quote:
The authors point out that even at current fish consumption levels, global fisheries are in severe crisis as demand outstrips supply and declining stocks are being diverted from local markets to affluent markets, with serious consequences for the food security of poorer countries and coastal communities. Global stocks have been declining since the late 1980s and there have been more than 100 cases of marine extinctions.
"These trends imply the collapse of all commercially exploited stocks by mid-century," state the authors. "Yet the dire status of fisheries resources is largely unrecognized by the public, who are both encouraged to eat more fish and are misled into believing we live in a sea of plenty."

Fish Consumption Guidelines Not Environmentally Sustainable, Canadian Experts Say
Overfishing and environmental contamination are going to lead to the destruction of fish as a food stuff. Aquaculture still relies on wild fish in the form of fish meal and fish oil so without commercial fish supplies those will fail as well. Just another in the continuing trend for the unrestrained selfishness of humans to endanger their own long term survival. As a side note to this issue the fish meal and fish oil is also crucial to land farming since it is used as feed for chickens and pigs.
