To read an article entitled:

please click on the link above. This statement is found in this article:
"Replacing wild fish altogether would not be easy, Gibbons noted. Ray Hilborn, University of Washington professor of aquatic and fishery sciences, recently estimated that switching from wild fish to an equivalent amount of animal protein from pigs, cattle and chickens could take land resources equal to 22 times the existing rainforest."
So, it seems once again Humans have caused severe problems in the Food chains of this planet.What is going to happen now that fish populations in the waters of our Planet have been so badly depleted by us?
