Plot summary
Fish populations around the world have been hit hard by overfishing, and drastic action is needed to reverse the decline. The bluefin tuna, which western demand for sushi has pushed toward imminent extinction, is one case. The impact on marine life has also resulted in a huge overpopulation of jellyfish. A world that loses its fish would have profound implications, and it would bring mass starvation.
