Over 50 years ago, researchers circumnavigated the Americas sampling ocean life along the way at regular intervals.

Krill are a billion times smaller than tuna, but their numbers are a billion times more abundant. If you were to weigh all the krill in the ocean, the mass should be close to all the tuna — but not anymore. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]umans-broke-a-natural-law-of-ocean-life/
