Seafood is in high demand, and fish are being consumed faster than they can reproduce. Also, oil spills pollution, climate change or other natural causes can affect fish population

Answer:

The earth's oceans are running out of valuable fish because of overfishing. Overfishing in the ocean damage the marine ecology and disrupt the food chain for fishes. Extensive fishing regularly has created a scarcity of fishes in the ocean compared to what it was before. The huge demand for fishes in the market has unbalanced the growth of fishes. Pollution and climatic changes have also resulted the decline of fishes in oceans.
