Fishes only chance is WW3!
They has being a few books reviewed in Newscientist recently about how the abudance of the whole marine ecosytem before industrial scale fishing was underestimated, thus underplaying the effect of fishing.
The near extinction of most whales & there low population compared to historically must have a huge effect..

More whales = loads more fish.

As I've said before the state of the seas worries me more than anything else but in this case it was the similarity between the fish stocks graph and Hubbert's curve that struck me.
it was when the presenter said words to the effect, "WoW! It jut falls off a cliff!"

World War I, World War II, World War Against the Environment. Looks like this is the big one.

Did you see Ugo Bardi's paper, where he applied Hubert Linearization to global whale stocks? It's a simple model that can be applied to many systems.
