A new paper by the World Wildlife Fund reports that 30% of freshwater fish species is threatened with extinction. 80 species have already gone extinct, of which 16 went extinct in 2020 alone. 19 of the extinct species were found in the U.S.

Since the 1970s, there has been an average decline of 76% in migratory freshwater fish and a 94% decline in megafish, or fish heavier than 30 kg. Researchers believe this loss is due to many human factors, including climate change, pollution, overfishing, and harming ecosystems with dams, irrigation, and draining.

Freshwater fish make up 51% of known fish species, despite freshwater ecosystems covering just 1% of Earth's surface. Freshwater fish provide the main source of animal protein for at least 200 million people and have an estimated value of $138 billion.

At least no new fish will be brought into existence to be tortured and tormented by humans.
