Figure 2. The percentage of fish to the total human diet from

various regions in the world.

Based on statistics from 1987

to 1989. Fish is the last wild meal in the human diet, but

roughly two-thirds of the world’s major stocks are now fished

at or beyond their capacity, and another 10 percent have been

harvested so heavily that populations will take many decades

to recover.
