Over fishing is the taking of excess fish from the wild which prevents food for other species and limits the number of future fish. Many vessels travel to the southern hemisphere to fish in huge quantities of fish. This puts stress on various species such as albatrosses, penguins, seals, whales, and a variety of fish species. There are laws out implementing to reduce the number of fish catches but it is unknown if these rules are actually used and enforced.
