Question

How much has over-fishing gone up in the past 53 years?

Answer 1

I can only guess by 300%. If we keep seeing the cost of living go up with the gas there will be no fish left with people fishing in any way possible without licenses! We have a food bank shortage now so what are the odds it will happen?

Answer 2

Where exactly do you mean? as a whole it has declined in the USA,Canada,Germany,Spain,Etc....It is the factory trawlers that have increased by Russia and afew other countrys....no one knows a true number....only guesses. In the past 20 years though rec. fishing has hurt stocks too. Everybody is to blame.
