Overfishing is the removal of a species of fish (i.e. fishing) from a body of water at a rate greater than that the species can replenish its population naturally (i.e. the overexploitation of the fishery's existing fish stock), resulting in the species becoming increasingly underpopulated in that area.
Harvesting is the process of collecting plants, animals, or fish ... Over years, unsustainable farming of land degrades soil fertility and diminishes crop yield.
Leading scientists also have denounced the commission’s computer model, which recommends harvesting 175,000 female horseshoe crabs and 500,000 male horseshoe crabs for bait annually.
Sustainable yield is the amount of a resource that humans can harvest without over-harvesting or damaging a potentially renewable resource. [1]In more formal terms, the sustainable yield of natural capital is the ecological yield that can be extracted without reducing the base of capital itself, i.e. the surplus required to maintain ecosystem services at the same or increasing level over time.

Pollution, ocean warming, over-harvesting, and microplastics may have already caused harm to octopuses that we don’t yet fully understand, he says. If not octopuses, then Dobson says that ...
Harvesting at is also potentially unstable. A small decrease in the population can lead to a positive feedback loop and extinction if the harvesting regime is not reduced. Thus, some consider harvesting at MSY to be unsafe on ecological and economic grounds.
Tax-loss harvesting can be valuable, potentially significantly so, to the right investor. This is the takeaway from a recent study released by Vanguard. The firm looked at the practice of tax-loss ...
