This is what happens when commercial bias (and political clout) decides what science to believe.
Overfishing occurs because of the relentless commercial pressure on fishery managers to optimize short term financial gain.
Where in the last twenty years have commercial interests called for reduced quotas and restraint in any sort of unified or majority voice?
Now the science will be twisted to blame everything on global warming and absolve the poor commercial fishermen and dedicated fishery managers from any responsibility.
Absolutely warming waters will impact fish populations.
Sadly the fish were long gone before this ever became an issue.
