How The U.S. Went From Overfishing To Underfishing

The wildly diverse fishing industry may be the only food product that relies on the cycles of nature. In 2020, the global fishing industry reached an all-time record of production worth an estimated $406 billion, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
The industry changed after the fish stock collapse in the 1990s, which was partially due to overfishing. In the U.S., an estimated 90% of fisheries are now sustainably managed. As of June 2020, 47 fish stocks have been rebuilt. Now, underfishing, which occurs when fish are harvested at a rate lower than would produce maximum sustainable yield, has become common in the U.S. America imports anywhere from 70% to 85% of its seafood, according to NOAA. In 2020, the national seafood trade deficit was $17 billion.
Some supply chains are murky. Many countries don’t have data on trends and stocks because they don’t have management systems in place, according to the FAO. The United States imported $2.4 billion worth of seafood from illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in 2019, accounting for about 11% of total U.S. seafood imports, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission.
Watch the video above to learn more about the U.S. fishing industry, market forces at play, the difference between overfishing and overfished, the role of climate and crime in global supply chains of seafood and what solutions may be on the table.

Why U.S. Seas Are Underfished

I bet Canada would have loved to have the opportunity to underfish before their cod fishery collapsed and still hasn't recovered even though they have had a TOTAL ban on fishing for decades now. Same goes for the sardine fishery that was once sustained many fishing communities on the California coast. It is a little too late to decide to underfish to save a fishery when fish stocks have collapsed. If collapsed fisheries have taught us anything it should be that the precautionary principle should dictate every decision we make about maximum sustainable yield.

[@scopscorpion]

Man I didn't even spend 1 minute on the video before disliking it and hoping straight to the comment section to like this comment. Taking one niche area of a large and complex industry and applying it to the entire United States is extremely irresponsible; like saying "oh the weather is perfectly fine here in my city! Global warming is a hoax"

[@brinkee7674]

Over fishing for a particular fish is only part of the problem. For instance the striped bass pop on the east coast was decimated. Now they restricted fishing with bag and slot limits. One of the main things that helped though was the restriction on Omega 3 fishing boats. These boats catch the fish that stripers eat. If you ever came across one of the boats it would make you sick. You could follow the slick and trail of bycatch to the boats. Where there are menhaden, mackerel,herring, sardines and similar there are stripers and many times there were hundreds if not thousands of dead stripers every day from one boat. One day we saw over a dozen dead 40 plus lb class fish. These boats also had an effect on salmon, tuna and other fish that eat these fish. We pushed for years to restrict these boats and until we started filming it and posting videos did they finally restrict them. Most of the help came from local and national news, they were surprised this was happening right in their back yard

If you listened to the video they were talking about east coast stocks. Your stocks have been getting better due to the removal of dams that blocked the water ways where the fish have to travel to reproduce and due to hatcheries.

“Stocks are called overfished if they're at low abundance, but stocks are often at low abundance, not because they're fished too hard, but because the environment has changed.” That is a nonsensical statement.

[@robwerth]

@@Dimitris_Half It would be a long elaboration. But for example, take salmon farming in Canada and the US. The Fraser River mouth has numerous salmon farms. Those fish are penned unnaturally in dense schools and this is an unhealthy situation for them. They have a high level of sickness and the pathogens from these fish blow off into the surrounding waters, sickening any wild salmon that pass. Been documented. To deal with the pathogens in the pens, the water is heavily dosed with drugs. The drugs blow into the surrounding waters and residue remains in the flesh of the fish. I've served on a research vessel that had divers researching these issues and seem the pictures that were brought back of these sick fish, the lesions clearly visible. Because their diet is unnatural, their flesh doesn't turn pink without the addition of a dye to their feed. And now this is the worst part. Salmon are a carnivorous fish. The pellets that they are fed are harvested by trawling the oceans, killing everything in the path of the nets, and turning the catch into pellets. Massive amounts of hydrocarbons are released into the atmosphere, and this a massively inefficient way of feeding the fish compared to wild fish which hunt for their food. The idea of aquaculture sounds great at first blush but in reality it is a disaster backed by lots of lobbying and cash spread about to the right politicians. There's more to be concerned about (like over harvesting of wild catch, genetic poisoning, etc.), but that's a long story. Bottom line: all is not well on the seas.
