Overfishing and damaged fisheries resources affects marine biodiversity. The overexploitation, depletion and recovery of marine fish stocked increased to 32% in 2008, a highest record in history. In addition, the overexploitation of fishes causes significant collateral damage by destroying sea floor habitats. 70% of by-catch of unwanted species is discarded as waste at sea. This causes transmission of disease and the release of pollutants in the aquaculture, creating continuous harm on the marine ecosystem.
Threats to biodiversity is found to be higher in developing countries, where crops are responsible for 72% of species threat and livestock production is responsible for 34% of species threat. The production of food crops seems to have
