If you catch all of a certain type of fish, they could become endangered or extinct. Also, when a certain kind of fish is overfished, whatever it eats will flourish (because it is not being eaten) and lead to overpopulation. Also, whatever eats that type of fish could go hungry and die.

By causing declines in numbers of not only targeted species, but others as well. Regulations in US waters have tight restrictions that must be enforced to the letter of the law. Many migrants, for example, took to trawling for fish and shrimp, and ignored these laws. They were keeping many tons of game fish like red drum, which led to a sharp decline in their numbers along the Gulf Coast from NC to Texas. The laws, once enforced, saw the red drum begin to recover.

What are some long term repercussions of overfishing?

Over-fishing does not simply reduce the population and future population of a species. It can also result in overpopulation of the organisms on which they feed, and changes to the species that feed on them. In some cases, there are opportunistic species that take advantage of the reduced numbers of a given species, and these invaders may cause further harm to the ecosystem, and to the human activities that depend on the ecosystem.
