- Bottom of the barrel - Expansion of fishing to the deep sea is not sustainable
- "Over the last 50-60 years many shallow water fish stocks have become depleted and others have outright collapsed. As a result fishers have targeted fish stocks in deeper and deeper waters. Studies on global catch have shown that the average depth of catch has increased in recent years and fishing now regularly occurs over 1000 meters and in some cases to 1800 meters. Fishers are literally reaching into the bottom of the barrel for fish." - an argument that this is unsustainable as a result of the long lifecycles of deep-ocean fish due to the lower availability of food and whatnot.
