Possibly, but money talks and the law-makers (governments) often benefit from the poor commercial fishing practices (and bribes I guess). In the documentary they talk about some fishermen being stolen and worked as slaves on fishing boats (unable to leave) for years on end...it's all there to see and yet governments do nothing. The overfishing of oceans is there to see, plainly, and no (or ineffective) measures are in place...like protecting only 0.5% of the worlds oceans from commercial fishing. So penalties? Nah, I don't think that'll work. Humans have to learn a lesson, even if it comes through extinction.
