well given the vast migratory patterns of most fish such as blue fin tuna and the variety of predators that depend on those fish the impact can be very serious indeed.
unfortunatly recent actions taken to help reduce over fishing haven't accomplished much even as fish production has stagnated over the last 20 years or so.
