True but something like (IIRC) 20% of human food is sea fish. With increasing populations this means starvation for many in the less developed world.

I saw this on BBC World and they said 40 years....

But since the fishing industry is a bunch of greedy uncaring twats its not surprising. I think Soggy is about spot on....
