Among the major marine fish stocks or groups of stocks for which information is available, an estimated 47 to 50 percent are fully exploited and have either reached or are very close to their maximum limits. Another 15 to 18 percent are overexploited and have no potential for further increase. Moreover, there is an increasing likelihood that catches from these stocks will decrease if remedial action is not taken to reduce or revert overfishing conditions. Another 9 to 10 percent of stocks have been depleted or are recovering from depletion. |
