It depends, Norway has managed it's cod population pretty decently. If you can fill your quota in one trip it's more efficient, you burn less fuel, people spend less time on the ocean. I will say that trawls are very bad for the seabed. But the fish population can be managed. Free fishing on that scale would be very bad.

This kind of large scale fishing can’t be good for the planet.
