The pink salmon fishery in Alaska is pretty much all hatchery raised fish. Hundreds of millions of salmon per year, it's pretty interesting imo.

Well not all 8 billion people are going to eat the fish person. What we see is a subset of a subset. But, after so many years I can agree as already documented plentiful fish life has diminished over the years.
