I wonder about engineering yourself a productive fishery instead of exploiting wild stocks.

Most of the ocean is practically a desert. The only productive places are near land, where deep water up wells and returns sunken nutrients back to the surface.

I'm sure we could study and engineer some sort of nutrient dumping and cycling scheme. I bet you could make vastly more food while leaving a lot of ocean alone.

Totally, they do a lot of this, fish farming.

There are places famous for it, and there are other places like French Polynesia where they use existing atols as places to do it.

It's not easy, but it can be very productive.
