The value of the global seafood market has seen a 15% increase from 2016 to 2020 and is projected to increase even more by 2023.[7] Although it provides many people with a source of food, the global seafood market is a major threat to the biodiversity of fishes. Bycatch is a direct effect of overfishing and is defined as the unwanted capture of different marine organisms during industrial fishing. This results in many different species of fish dying after they are captured and discarded.
