Throughout the world one fishery is depleted so they go deeper into the ocean to get whats left (orange roughy, Chilean Sea Bass). Add in population growth along the coasts and if the oceans and estuaries continue to warm up it could be serious. Even here now... Atlantic Salmon, cod, American shad, river herring, ... its not so good.

We should all just take up golf or professional Bass Tournament fishing
