Detailed explanation-1: -It can change the size of fish remaining, as well as how they reproduce and the speed at which they mature. When too many fish are taken out of the ocean it creates an imbalance that can erode the food web and lead to a loss of other important marine life, including vulnerable species like sea turtles and corals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overfishing is when a species of fish is removed from a body of water (river, lake, stream, ocean, etc.) at a faster rate than the species can repopulate naturally. As a result, the fish species will become underpopulated in that area.
Detailed explanation-3: -Overfishing occurs when we take too many marine resources at a rate faster than they can reproduce or recover. And as a result, fish populations are becoming severely depleted and some commercial species (e.g Southern Bluefin Tuna) are even at the edge of extinction (2, 3).
Detailed explanation-4: -Critical depletion occurs when a level of depletion is very high enough that the population will be no longer able to sustain itself. It mainly occurs when there is a decline in population size. This may ultimately result in fishery collapse or even local extinction.
