Just like how cows aren’t going extinct or anything rn from overhunting, why hasn’t farming solved this issue? Surely trawl fishing ajd whatnot isn’t necessary anymore. We absolutely have the technology and capacity to farm most fish, so apart from people trying to catch particular exotic ones just to sell for the novelty, I really don’t get why this is still having such a huge effect on so many ecosystems and driving so many species to extinction, not even mention wrongfully catching sharks and stuff and destroying those species’ populations as a result.

There are actually a lot of fish that we don’t have the capacity to farm, or aren’t cost effective to farm. Part of this is due to the fact a large portion of fish we eat are migratory and high tier predators meaning they need (in some case literally) tons of food to grow to harvest weight and age, and miles upon miles of area to traverse or else they become unhealthy or subpar.
