 
            TL;DR: Overfishing is the #1 driver pushing many marine fish toward extinction, especially slow-growing, late-maturing species. Habitat loss, dams, bycatch, pollution, and climate change make things worse. Real fixes include science-based catch limits, protected spawning sites, bycatch reduction gea...
 
            Overfishing, habitat degradation, climate change, and pollution are driving many marine and freshwater fishes toward extinction. Unlike land animals, aquatic populations are hard to count precisely, but trends in catch per unit effort, size at landing, spawning-stock indices, and range gaps clearly...
