Overfishing takes time too. If they can occur suddenly then it's a major red flag... Also, the covid period was a recovery for all natural resources so it's strange to see a comment saying 70% of fishes missing...

Don't think it occurred suddenly. Population increase, consumption increased accordingly by fishes not replenished in the ocean.

I bet soon they will start marketing for farmed fish as the alternative. It's still all about profit... Lol

The diet of farm fishes may not be healthy. Many years ago, visited the Lim Chu Kang jetty and saw workers shifting packs of "maggie mee" (I presume expired ones) onto boats to head back to their kelong. Otherwise fish farming is still not sustainable as they still need to be fed with (trash) fishes that are caught from the oceans.

Less populated coastal cities and towns should still be fine as the seas around them are rich in fish resources.
Eg For Spore retirees, moving into towns in Northwest Malaysia, Southern Thailand or China will be quite attractive when Covid is no longer an issue.
Western coast Thailand is also better as water in the Andaman sea should be less radioactive than South China Sea.
Thailand Satun:
Fish in Hainan is still cheap. Pork too as 1 kg is only S$8 unlike the $15 here. Mar 2022 video of a market in Hainan Boao:
