Overfishing Is Threatening the World's Food Supply; A Marine Biologist Reveals Why Your Favorite Fish Could Be in Trouble - According to a 2008 United Nations report, the world's fishing fleets are losing $50 billion annually due to depleted stocks and inadequate fisheries management. This spells trouble for seafood lovers, who want to know that their favorite fish will be available at the local market. Marine biologist Dr. Dayton L. Alverson has been studying life in the world's oceans since the 1940s, and says overfishing represents a real threat to the food supply in many countries, where generations have relied on bounty from the sea to sustain them. According to Alverson, if better management of the world's fish stocks is not mandated, marine life depletion of even greater proportions could result. Further overfishing could result in the serious depletion of some species, which would lead to a noticeable lack of availability of seafood in countries like the United States.
