U.N.: Half of world's fish stocks 'fully exploited'

MSNBC - U.N.: Half of world's fish stocks 'fully exploited': "Stock depletion has implications for food security and economic development, reduces social welfare in countries around the world and undermines the well being of underwater ecosystems, Ichiro Nomura, FAO Assistant Director General for Fisheries said.
FAO forecast total world consumption of fish may increase by more than 25 percent to 179 million metric tons by 2015, underscoring the urgent need to rebuild depleted stocks.
It said seven of the top 10 marine fish species are already fully exploited or over-exploited, including Chilean jack mackerel, Alaska pollock, Japanese anchovy and blue whiting."
