Art, 
This comparison fails. Trawlers do not get near coastal or reef waters,
as divers/spearrfishers do.
The Mediterrannean is an example of the depletion of species by
spearfishing through not many years.. Aggravating is, that spearfishers
go for the giggame, so make a selection contrary to natures, leaving the
smaller and weaker behind. Bad for evolution.
Given a chance to recover, in nature reserves the fish get and take a
ggod chance of regrowing their population, but not with the original mix
and bandwidth of species.
