Preferred term

overfishing  

Definition

  • Overfishing is, in the simplest terms, the harvest of more fish from a population than it can bear. Yet, the word takes on multiple meanings in practice and the causes and consequences of, and alternatives to, overfishing are even more complicated. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Overfishing]
