Fish are important because they help maintain the health of marine ecosystems and provide support to other marine life. They are an important part of the food web because they are predators to smaller organisms and prey to marine mammals and seabirds globally. They also support humans. About 80 million tons of fish are harvested annually. This volume is enough to feed all Filipinos with their annual fish consumption for 20 years. And they're currently about 60 million people working in the fishing industry globally. But on a global scale, 33 percent of fisheries are overfished, meaning too many fish are being harvested. This may cause fish populations to become depleted and not able to recover. 67 percent are fully exploited, meaning additional fishing effort could lead to the fisheries collapse. Only 10 percent have room to grow, with just 10 percent of the fisheries having a room to grow. We might experience a global fishing crisis.
