In recent years the word has been getting out that certain species of fish are being over-harvested and as such should be avoided by the dining and fish buying public.

In the words of the Steinhart Aquarium:

" Only from the sea do we still regularly capture our fare from nature. But two or three decades ago, we rapidly began to exceed the endowment income of this resource and are now consuming the precious capital. More than 70 percent of the world’s fish stocks are overfished, depleted, or worse—extinct—as a food resource."
