Some animals and fish disappear for a number of reasons. If they didn’t we would still have those big monster animals running around. Life goes on. One animal or fish leaves and others takes its place. Nature doesn’t live in a vacuum like some humans do.

99% of the species that ever inhabited the planet are extinct, and yet, life goes on.

What is natural about snobby celebs and starlets eating all the Chilean Sea Bass? Hollywood...it will wipe you off the face of the Earth!

"Some animals and fish disappear for a number of reasons."

In this case it is due to overfishing a species. Also, see Grand Banks.

Nature doesn’t live in a vacuum like some humans do.

Perpetual change is the only constant of phenomena.

I live in Chile and can perhaps shed a truer perspective on this - the problem with the Chilean sea bass, call corvina is a combination of very high demand in Chile and the rest of the world, overexploitation by local fishermen, and the devastating effect of Russian, Japanese, Chinese "fish factory" fishing vessels.

these factory ships lay out nets that leave a path of destruction on the seabed, slurping up all the fish, and everything on a wide swath, leaving an underwater desert... these ships IMHO are one the most significant causes in the species decline
