>> Through the big role played by the industrial fishing, 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic float in our oceans, enough to circulate the equator 425 times, go to the moon twice and back, with the total amount of plastic heavier than the weight of 38,000 elephants. The debris comes from about 640,000 tonnes of nets, lines, and other fishing materials, all having the same weight as 55,000 double-decker buses.

Double decker buses, elephants, to the moon - all we're missing is the 'football pitch' standard journalistic unit..

On a different note, the author fails to include the world 'wild' fish; sustainable aquaculture practices are going to be a very useful way to meet the world's protein needs.

The protein conversion ratio of farmed salmon is lower than chicken, beef, pork, and most conventionally farmed land animals.

There are different levels of sustainability - shrimp farming in former mangroves is not very good for overall climate.

ASC-certified salmon farming in Norway, where antibiotic use is heavily restricted, is much better. Wild fishing has many evils; fish farms when done properly are not as bad.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but how does farmed fish avoid the issue of microplastics contamination in water?
