Overfishing large predators such as shark, tuna and cod in the past 40 years has left the oceans out of balance, and could result in the disappearance of these fishes by 2050, according to Villy Christensen of the University of British Columbia's Fisheries Center.
Christensen made this prediction at a panel, "2050: Will There Be Fish in the Ocean?" on February 19 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C.
Comment: maybe it is time to reflect on the sustainability of (breaded) fish in countries such as the UK, Germany or France, but Chinese immense and rising appetite for fresh fish dwarfs our own consumption.
