Re: Depressed by fish (none / 1)

Probably about 6 major things need to happen:

The setting of fish quotas must be made independent of the industry's "economic needs" and based on scientifically established sustainable levels.
The Global fishing industry (outside 200 mile limits) needs to be regulated by UN Treaty because most fish stock depletion takes place there. This is where a system of tradeable fishing credits may be of value.
The allocation of quotas within territorial waters can be by market or political mechanisms - depending on local choice - as along as the total quota is set within 1. above.
Given that fishing capacity exceeds available supply of fish, capacity should be regulated by mandating the least destructive forms of fishing
Enforcement of quotas in international waters needs to be made subject to international law and enforcement - e.g. UN mandated naval force
Enforcement within EU waters should be mandated and controlled at EU level.

Fish meat cultured in vats seems more likely.
