Fish is wildlife (mostly) so the sooner we stop taking it, the better.

Farmers ensure they have cattle for next year. The fishing industry doesn't take that care over next years stock.

Stop eating fish. Please. Just move to chicken or some other meat.

Only high value species are interesting for the cultivated meat indsutry. The overwhelming majority of salmon is farmed, especially atlantic salmon [1, page 17]. Yellowtail tuna is increasinly farmed as well, but sure wild stocks of tuna are still getting depleted.

Eating chicken or some other meat is not better than eating fish.

Many nations do exactly that for fisheries within their territorial waters.
