Sad but true. 75% of fish in the ocean are overfished. Song The Scientist by Coldplay.

Don't get a seafood guide, get a vegetarian starter kit. Your little plan will never work. You have to stop eating fish, you stupid humans.

@peapod8 And just how much land, water, habitat distruction, wildlide displacement does your vegetarian habit use and interfere with. We humans may be stupid as you say, but we all have one thing in common. We need to farm to survive. Save the wild stocks and only source farmed fish in the stores and on the menu.

@peapod8 we need stricter laws against netting fish like that in that large amount of quantities.

@noonecares88 it doesn't taste good so im told. Fishermen were forced to eat it when they starved during the Great Leap forward.

@restlesswave I said this as a joke. I am a salmon farmer being table banged by enviorementalists who are funded millions of US$ to push the public to wild salmon. Alaska wild salmon that is. Meanwhile Alaska farms 1.5 billion salmon a year to sustain their wild fishery. These salmon are raised in plastic trays, fed pellet feed, held in net pens for up to 12 months and released in to the wild, caught on their return and marketed as wild. We need both fisermen and farms to answer your no.
