That wouldn't be a good thing at all.
Thats ok, I dont like sea food.
It's not just about the food. The bulk of the oxygen generated on this planet comes from the oceans. Loss of these species would have a dramatic effect on ocean ecology.Paco_the_Insane wrote:

SPECIALISTS IGNORED
In the meantime, I have been listening to the waterfront gossip. It is being complained along the row that the Division of Fish & Game should have awakened to the danger long ago, that at least they should have prevented the taking of undersized specimens. But I reason this way: Suppose they should try (as I believe actually they did). A suave lobbyist says to the individual legislators: "Don't pay any attention to these scientists - Good fellows of course; but their heads are in the clouds. Let's listen to the hard-headed down to earth businessmen. There's no chance of depletion. There's just as good fish in the sea as any ever's been caught. Both the fishermen and the canners are agreed on that. And they know. They've had years of actual experience. Let's not have any professional new-dealing in our fisheries." So the legislators refuse to listen to the Fish and Game Division scientists. Sometimes even the Division itself refuses to support its own specialists.
And the sardine populations DO decrease (although not necessarily only through overfishing). Until finally the canners themselves (of northern California for instance) - these down-to-earth hard-headed businessmen - get concerned over the scarcity. Their profits fade, their business decreases. In desperation they appeal to the Division for protection, for a statewide regulation to prevent the taking of small sardines. What happens! There's a meeting. The canners of Southern California scream their heads off. They say: "In this region we get only mixed sardines. The proportion of small ones is often high. Don't just take OUR business too, just because the unfortunate operators in the north are suffering." Again the Division fails to act, confronted with disagreement. And in the meantime still more of the vital and decreasing breeding stock is being wiped out.

Just think how boring fishing would be if there weren't any fish.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

These fish trawlers will just have to resort to fish farming. Deep sea fish farming from abandoned deep-sea oil rigs Shrimp, tilapia, oyster, mussels, catfish and salmon are heavily farmed now. The fishing industry will have to work like the chicken, pork, and beef industry. All non-farmable fish will then become specialty products, like game hens and lamb.
Cloning will be perfected by then.
42 years from now someone will read what I just wrote and say, dumbass.

Thats great news, my g/f loves seafood.... i don't love paying for it, no more $40 nights at red lobster and not even getting full.

Screw that. Freshwater ftw! But really, pay attention, even people who don't like seafood.King_County_Downy wrote:

cloning fish is the answer...isnt it?? ban fishing at sea and clone fish and get fish from farms....problem soved for the stocks....
Yep, more negative outlooks on what the world is coming to. How many predictions have been made about things like this?
Freshwater only. The greandes sink too far down in the ocean j/kPolux wrote:

We just have to make more areas protected marine reserves, and make sure this protection is enforced. Research has shown that fish stocks are on the rise in marine reserves around Australia, showing that by simply stopping and enforcing the stopping of fishing the fish will take care of themselves.
Sure, MANY people would bitch about not being able to fish commercially - but the sole ground for their argument would be money and personal gain. I think the environment should overule against personal greed.
