Why do we deplete amount of fish in the sea, but land animals, we eat thrive in numbers?

You know we don’t hunt wild cows for steaks, right.
There aren’t any wild cows, to start with. Humans domesticated cows long ago and specialized the breeding of them to make an animal that’s ideally suited for being farmed to make steaks. Just like pigs and chickens, and even corn and other food plants. All these species are genetically engineered by humans to be our food.
Many fish are farmed, perhaps 50% of the fish eaten are farm raised. Some fish, particularly apex predators like tuna, are resistant to farming and we haven’t re-engineered them into farm-able fish because wild stocks have been sufficient.
