Overfishing - the taking of excess fish from the wild which prevents food for other species and limits the number of future fish. Fish is a key source of food throughout Asia, because of the high population there is the need to feed all mouths. However going out and harvesting one billion fish a day dramatically decreases the numbers of fish. These problems are being look at but there is still a lot to be done. Aquaculture production in Asia has grown, with China producing 68% of the global total.
