Popular seafood species in sharp decline around the world

Popular seafood species in sharp decline around the world

Of the fish populations analyzed, 82% were found to be below levels that can produce maximum sustainable yields. Of these, 87 populations were found to be in the “very bad” category, with biomass levels at less than 20% of what is needed to maximize sustainable fishery catches.
