Fish will vanish from British waters in 20 years, says author
Ninety per cent of fish in the waters around Britain will have disappeared within 20 years unless they are given protection, according to a leading marine researcher. Professor Callum Roberts claims that "the endgame" was being played out with the remaining fish in the seas and that they are doomed without radical measures to save them. The number of fish in seas and oceans around the world was a fraction of what it had been 50 years ago, and numbers were still plummeting.
