Damn, aquaculture looks like it absolutely stopped an increase of wild catch, which is impressive!

I am surprised that wild catch numbers didn't really ever drop, given the massive increase of aquaculture (also surprised at aquacultures plateau).

I wonder how accurate the wild catch figures are considering the amount of illegal fishing done. Maybe the plateau of wild catch has less to do with aquaculture and more to do with the ocean not having any more to give 💀

I'm skeptical that aquaculture stopped the increase as it could have been the wild catch has been over fished so hard it can't supply more.
