80 million fish are harvested each year to produce fish oil and meal for farming fish. What this does is takes away from other fish and animals in the oceans. A lot of the oceans stock has been over fished and exploited beyond safe boundaries. What this means is that tuna, cod, and haddock will have less food to eat. If there is less food, the survival rate will go down. As Jason K. explained, "Once the swordfish is gone, we cannot plant new ones for next year." What we need to do is find a more sustainable way or different resources to feed and let nature have its own food back.

I appreciate other people taking the consideration of even fish into play. People dont realize just how much fish do for us as a society. It is expensive enough for us to get specialty fish shipped to the midwest, but if people start abusing, and over fishin certain species, we may never see them again.
