And as the marine province trends to economic exploitative extinction, this percentage will trend from 50% to nearly 100%.

We never learned to overcome the Tragedy of the Commons,
but we surely know how to FARM aquatic fish stocks. Not all marine - some of the most productive spp that will sustain humanity will be the carps, the FW cats, and the tilapias.
Top-end spp like salmonids and prawns will keep my palate satisfied, even though I know their fish meal pellets, etc, continue to diminish natural biomass levels in the non-farmed environment.

I almost killed to conserve natural stocks when I was younger;
now I just like a grilled (farmed) trout.
