The fish counter is horrifying, I had no idea.
The fish counter comes from here https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/animal-welfare/artic...
One could argue there's a double count: about one-fifth of fish are caught to feed other animals (mainly fish, but also terrestrial animals). But I don't think one kill offsets another.
> around half of wild-caught finfish numbers are destined for reduction to fishmeal and oil, of which, respectively, 70 and 73% are used for aquaculture feeds
