But, globally, stocks fished within biologically sustainable levels has exhibited a decreasing trend, from 90.0% in 1974 to 66.9% in 2015.
Between the 1950s and 2006, catch from the high seas grew from <2 to 10 million tonnes.

Up to 54% of high seas fishing would be unprofitable without taxpayer subsidy. Furthermore exploited labour (AKA human rights abuses) and unreported fishing ( #IUU) may explain how other large vessels afford to fish in international waters. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2018..." title="https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> Up to 54% of high seas fishing would be unprofitable without taxpayer subsidy.
