Overfishing Introduction

Fishing has been a huge part of humans existence on this planet and one of our foremost food supplies. Before the mid 20th century humans believed the oceans to be filled endlessly with fish, however, this is just not the case. The oceans food supply is dwindling and our yearly fish yields have been lower and lower every year for the past forty years. Fishing companies have been upgrading their technologies to achieve better yields but non of it is working due to the fact the fish populations just don't have enough time to reproduce in time for our next harvest season. Some companies have started fish farming industries to help the over fishing problem, but these farms just don't produce enough fish yet to be able to help the fact that we still need huge amounts of fish from the oceans to feed our growing world population. So clearly we have a problem, but how can we stop this without hurting humans as a repercussions? So over fishing is a big problem that needs to be stopped, just how to we go about it is the question?
