The ability of the fisheries to naturally recover also depends on whether the conditions of the ecosystems are suitable for population growth. Dramatic changes in species composition may establish other equilibrium energy flows that involve other species compositions than had been present before (ecosystem shift). (For example: remove nearly all the trout, the carp take over and make it near impossible for the trout to re-establish a breeding population.) - Wikipedia
I realised that it doesn't do the fish community any good too if we keep eating one of their cousins and not eating enough of the rest. Hmm. God certainly is a strategic planner with a cool sense of humor.
I read somewhere that the 'haves' population consists only approximately 20% of total world population. 'Haves' meaning people who can afford to put bread (and fish) on the table 3 times a day. So can you imagine? All those nice scrumptious fish from all over the world are being eaten only by 20% of us?
