Random Fact #858: Commercial fishing has changed dramatically in the past 40 years. Fish populations have continued to decrease and in the past 100 years, 80 percent of the biomass of fish in the oceans has been lost.Experts across the globe agree on the issue and see the damage occurring. Unfortunately only a few studies have actually been done on the issue, making the problem unknown to the masses. Some of the studies show that the ocean population will collapse completely by 2048. It is possible to recover from the depleting resources of marine fish, but serious measures must be taken. One idea is to remove much of the predatory fish to give the lesser ones on the food chain a chance to replenish and catch up and then reintroduce the predatory fish into the ocean again afterwards. We also must cut the consumption of fish to aid in the process of replenishing the marine life.
