Overfishing
Overfishing, or harvesting fish faster than they can be replaced by reproduction, greatly reduced the amount of fish in parts of the world's oceans.

Are fish renewable resource?
Fish are renewable, since they live on renewable foods and reproduce by natural means. Whether something is renewable or not depends on the difference between how fast it is removed and how fast it is replaced. Living things reproduce themselves, and some can do it faster than others. Flies and rabbits breed quickly, while oak trees and whales breed slowly. If you wanted to get rid of all the flies in the world, you'd have to work very fast to kill as many as you could as quickly as you could, because otherwise the remaining flies would soon repopulate the world and you'd have to start again. But if you wanted to get rid of all the oak trees, you wouldn't have to work nearly as fast. It takes a very long time for an acorn to grow into an adult tree, and provided you work faster than that, you can remove all oak trees faster than they can reproduce and replace themselves. So the question about fish is really a question about how fast the population can replace the fish that we remove from the sea. If we remove one or other species of fish faster than it can reproduce, it is not a renewable resource. If we remove them at a rate that the population can replace, it is a renewable resource. In other words, if we are careful, considerate and conservative, fish are a renewable resource. If we are greedy, and take them from the sea too quickly, then they are not renewable.

How can you explain issues associated with coral harvesting methods?
Coral harvesting methods cause damage to coral reef ecosystems faster than the ecosystems can recover.Blast fishing is used because it maximizes the harvesting of fish, but it is also destructive to surrounding coral. Cyanide harvesting has similar effects. It can often kill coral along with the fish that it is targeting. Coral harvesting targets coral. If large portions of coral are removed it is difficult for the ecosystem to recover, as the coral as essential for the ecosystem and grows slowly over a period of many years. -e2020
