I mean did you try not eating fish to stop the fishing.

I stopped eating fish to reduce the over all consumption of fish. yes.

... did fishing decrease?

I don't really understand your point.

If I am not buying fish then even by a miniscule amount the demand has decreased.

scale it up and you have your answer.

The point is that there are 8 billion people on the planet, and no amount of personal responsibility will resolve the problem. Legislation and enforcement are the only way to resolve this issue.

if the global fishing hasn't decreased due to your tactic, then another tactic might be necessary

Why, do you need help with the setup?

It a joke. "How do you know if someone is vegan (or uses arch Linux)?" "They'll tell you"

Pretty bad joke if it needs to be explained I guess. Also "No overfishing in a vegan world" is true weather or not I am vegan lol

You stop it through legislation and enforcement. Anything less is just lip-service.
