"Big-Fish Stocks Fall 90 Percent Since 1950, Study Says
National Geographic News
May 15, 2003
Only 10 percent of all large fish—both open ocean species including tuna, swordfish, marlin and the large groundfish such as cod, halibut, skates and flounder—are left in the sea, according to research published in today's issue of the scientific journal Nature."
here are some others....there is a ton of it out there...

well my friend, I am not that tuna fanatic but I do like fresh fish cocked, fried and especially grilled. Also, shrimp, crab and lobster are my favorite dishes too.
So, tuna or not it is not that issue for me. there are too many alternatives at the sea to choose from. This is way I have to live by the coast

Lagoona22: Tuna stocks world-wide are about to crash and become extinct due to over-fishing...
What do you think about this, do you give a damn, and if you do, what do you think should be done about it....please elaborate..http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2009/06/07/damon.indo.food.security.cnn
I don't care about tuna as I don't eat it, but I do eat a lot of fish, and I care about the ecosystem. I don't know really anything about this subject, whether or not the oceans are being over-fished and whether or not farmed fish are just as good. More media attention needs to be given to this subject.What do you think about this, do you give a damn, and if you do, what do you think should be done about it....please elaborate..http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2009/06/07/damon.indo.food.security.cnn

Yes, but the point is, the ocean's ecosystem is like a pack of cards....take out one major player like the tuna, and other large shoal fish like cod, salmon, and the knock-on effect is huge. it has a domino effect, the whole system gets hit. So if you care about fish, you have to care about tuna...you can't have one without the other...

Yes, I understand the point, which is why I said I care about the ecosystem; it was just a personal point that I don't eat tuna. But what is the individual supposed to do about these huge multi-national companies over-fishing the oceans?------ This poll is Archived ------
Finally something that i actually know about.
Its not only tuna thats over fished look at the cod stocks, The quaculture industry is going well but to feed 1,000 tons of farmed fish you need to use 10,000 tons of wild fish so thats not really sustainable. S now they have started trying to substitute this with corn and other land vegtables the salmon have taken to it but the likes of tuna and cod in farms need to be fed a live diet in their juvinile stages with creates a higher archey, If there wasn't such a high demand for fish all over the world there wouldnt be a problem but as far as this changing it wont. A few species will become extinkt if something is'nt done and we need the government to start taking action they have really cracked down in Ireland and decomissioned lots of boats and cut the fishing quota considerably. I did a course last year in Aquaculture and am going to do Freshwater and Marine Biology in september and am going to start doing conservation and re-stocking in salmonoid rivers in Ireland as there if few fish in there saying this i did catch a 7lb Salmon last wednesday first in 4 years.

That is an absolutely critical and important point that you make about the non-sustainable feed requirements of the fish-farm industry...thanks for that..

i fish in a river in waterford and 4 years ago they banned drift netting across the mouth of the river when the salmon are running. Now there is less salmon in the river than before which shouldnt happen. When a salom becomes a smolt it makes its way back to sea to feed for 2/4 years goes up to norway then greenland but when itys up there its found no fish there main sorce of food has been over fished and because of this wild atlantic salmon are dieing at sea. Farmed salmon are bred untill they are about to mature then killed the life on a farmed salmon is a year maybe a year and a half and i think the meat is nothing compared to the wild salmon

Yes, same around here....it's been so over-fished, nothing can recover...there are people fishing off the shore constantly, and they take anything they catch....I saw an old woman and her young daughter the other day...scraping a colony of very small mussels off the rocks, to make soup with....they took every single one!!!...they wiped out an entire little colony that had just started to establish itself...people have no idea...it's an education thing...

We have had various kinds of fresh water fish farms in the SE USA for a number of years. Most are catfish farms. The feed is normally a special pellet made of by products of grain.
One problem is one fuel cost. Both to transport to market and to daily feed the fish in the pond....heavy equipment is used.
I have seen media reports on Ocean aquaculture farming. Some major operations are in the Hawiian Islands. Tuna here is one being breed.
I like tuna, eat it fairly regularly at one of our local restraunts. Maybe it is being over fished on the ocean. That I don't know. But the price for the meal has been holding steady.
Do know that the Alaskan King Crab industry has recovered from being over fished. This year, they had a great season. Their pods were 1.5-2.0 time filled to what is considered a normal catch a few years ago.
If a species does get over fished, it seems it can come back..with proper management and restriction on catchs and time of harvesting policies.
How fast a one does recover would like vary to the species and its reproduction and growth to maturity rates. Also its food source supply.

I hope a solution is found. Tuna, salmon, and talapia is the mainstay of my diet for meat. I hardly ever eat red meat now, and very little chicken.
These particular fish are a good source of omega 3 and omega 6 EFA's. The salmon is also a good source of calcium and is good for thyroid health and other health conditions. It would be a shame for them to become extinct. Farmed ones aren't as good for us as the wild ones, though.
And no, I'm not going to eat less of these fish for now, but I will pray that the quaculturists find a solution. I am more aware now, though. Thank you, Lago.

You are killing a fish that can be readily eaten by humans and feeding it to a fish that few would want to touch let alone eat!!
Forgive me but is that not as bad as feeding 10,000 fish to keep 1000 alive in a fish farm?
Am I missing the point here?

I live in an area (Gulf of Mexico) that at one time the major industry was fishing, shrimping, crabing and oysters. We have had controls on limiting the industry for years to control the amount of 'fish' that are available. Shrimping season is about to start and it is determined by the Marine Resources Division determining when the shrimp is big enough and that they are enough of them to open the season.
My point: There must be some organization and some intelligent controls established to protect the 'fish'.
