Hello; A little over ten years ago there was a warning about the coming drastic decline of the worlds commercial stocks. The prediction was back then it was around ten years away. So yes the ocean fisheries are in the throes of dramatic declines.
Some fishing seasons are only allowed in terms of hours or a few days.

Check out some of the ads for fish places such as long Johns. They mention Alaskan Pollock now days. Pollock use to be considered trash fish if I recall correctly. I guess they can not get the better fish any more.

Might be easier to list the species that are not in decline.

You might add the superfish, aka the unstoppble invasive species.

Bighead carp
Thread fin shad
Zebra mussels

As renewable species, that could be cultivated to feed people who eat the endangered tuna.

Sad but we are eating way too much wild fish and in a very wasteful way.
Agreed
We shipem clean water grown and raised big heads for .15 cents a pound.

Then our stores sell shrimp "grown in GOD only knows what, heavy metal content. From the most polluted esturies in the world.

The radio active Tuna, and salmon from the north Pacific, were yummy.
