Taking more fish than the amount that will grow again. Eventually, there will be no fish left.

You endanger the survival of the fish themselves if you kill off too many so that there aren't enough to breed and sustain their population, then the population goes down and down until extinction or the end of overfishing.

You also endanger predators that eat fish to survive.
