No, imho it's not bias. For wild fish, the US enforces the quantity of fish that can be taken much more effectively, than, say China/Japan.

Second, the regulations/practices on the environmental impact of fish farms on the nearby sea are probably better in the US than elsewhere (many fish farms are in the backwaters of an ocean).

Do you really find it hard to believe that the USA has higher standards of environmental protection than other countries?

A fish doesn't care what country it was caught by. The US limits are surely set with the current population in mind... a population that is directly effected by what other countries are fishing. The more Japanese fish you eat, the less America fishes. It all evens out.
