How many fish are caught each year?
About 120 million tons of fish are caught each year. This includes huge fish such as whales, which are hunted for meat and oil, smaller fish and shellfish like lobster and oyster. Dredgers and trawlers drag nets on the seafloor that trap everything in their path. Many people, especially environmentalists are concerned that stocks of certain fish are becoming dangerously low due to over-fishing.
