Sure... and farming generally is inefficient, because it would cost more to plant those seeds, than to just let the wild plants grow themselves and harvest them. That assumption didn't work for the hunter-gatherer societies once other cultures discovered agriculture, and it won't work now..

There is a big difference though. The sea is being turned into a dessert. An emptiness devoid of life. Now recalculate. How are we going to feed the fish in the farms? What if some smart assed country sold real wild fish from a nation wide government sponsered scheme?? i.e. what is going to happen to the price of fish in Iceland? I am speaking very realistically here. The rich people will buy fish from where??

btw I was out shopping today in the El Cheapo European food store. I find I am being real picky what I buy these days. It had Alaskan salmon for sale and the label had "Wild" on it. Do you think it was real wild salmon??. The "Alaskan" label was stamped in the tin lid. I think the product was from Germany.
