If current trends continue, Its curtains for sea-fish by 2050 according to research performed by leading researchers and published in the journal Science.

There will be virtually nothing left to fish from the seas by the middle of the century if current trends continue, according to a major scientific study.

Fishing bans and other regulations that prevent over-fishing are the only things that can prevent this decline. But there are a lot of other factors, including political, that is preventing this from happening.

Protecting stocks demands the political will to act on scientific advice - something which Boris Worm finds lacking in Europe, where politicians have ignored recommendations to halt the iconic North Sea cod fishery year after year. Without a ban, scientists fear the North Sea stocks could follow the Grand Banks cod of eastern Canada into apparently terminal decline. "I'm just amazed, it's very irrational," he said. "You have scientific consensus and nothing moves. It's a sad example; and what happened in Canada should be such a warning, because now it's collapsed it's not coming back."
