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.
