Re: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
There is one problem with the idea - current fishing cannot continue at the same pace and be profitable. The fewer fish there are, the harder it is to catch them. The harder it is to catch them, the fewer fish are caught each day. The fewer fish caught each day, the less supply there is for the consumer. The less supply there is, the higher the prices. If prices are high, people will buy less and less fish. Since people buy less fish, less fish need to be caught. This continues until it becomes unreasonable - when fish costs so much as to be a luxary, modern fishing won't be economically feasible.
