Rapid worldwide depletion of predatory fish communities

The authors'analysis suggests that the global ocean has lost more than 90% of large predatory fishes. This is the first analysis to show general, pronounced declines of entire communities across widely varying ecosystems. The potential ecosystem effects of removing 90% of large predators from the open oceans is bound to be widespread, and possibly difficult to reverse.
