Fishtinction

I'd been considering of late a return to 'fishatarianism,' but now that option seems less viable.

If 90% of ocean species "collapse" (love that euphemism), where will I get my USDA weekly requirement of mercury?

There is hope if commercial interests can be persuaded to accept some minimized profits short-term. Not likely, but if fish will cease to exist in the wild within a few decades at current rates, with the cost of finding and catching them growing each year, then perhaps fishing industrialists will see the writing on the wall and start rotating 'no take zones.'
