Is codfish already extinct? ?

Question

i hav not seen any codfish in our local marketplaces any more. Long time ago they were so abundant. where did they go.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Time to start shopping elsewhere. They are still the basis for a major fishery.

Answer 3

No, codfish are not extinct but there are global restrictions on codfishing which has driven up the price. It could also be that your local codfishery has collapsed (several global fisheries have experienced this).

And the place they went was our stomachs, overfishing has reduced the numbers and sizes of viable cod populations.
