We're saved - we found more fish!

5. Actually it is industrial fishing that is responsible (or, more accurately, irresponsible)

> fish companies just fill a want (it is NOT a need, humans have NO NEED to actually eat fish)

FWIW, humans on the coast - especially on small islands - do have a NEED to actually eat fish.

Regardless of that detail, the real damage is being caused by the appallingly large-scale factory
ships that are continuously draining the entire marine biosphere in search of profit, not the
odd fishing boat that is feeding the families in the village.

Like everything else, the profit-merchants fastened their suckers onto yet another aspect
of life and turned it into a bland "resource" - something to be exploited in order to maximise
the "Net Profit" cell at the bottom of their spreadsheet.

Yes, the desire of *some* humans for particular types of food renders them ripe targets
for the marketeers (and thus the exploiters). As a prime example, all you have to do is to
convince the gullible that paying a phenomenally high price for an over-hyped piece of raw fish
from a particular species is "cool" and not only do your profits rocket but the more obscure
bits of "by-catch" (horrible word) provide an opening to repeat the process once the peak of
the initial species has been passed.

Put a maximum limit on the size of fishing vessel (i.e., vessel permitted to land fish) and
you will have an instant reduction in the devastation caused by fishing.

But that would be politically "unappealing" so nothing will happen until the seas are dead.
