I'm building on an ocean-type map, and although food isn't really a problem, I figured I should make use of my resources and build a fishery.  Is there a way I can do this sustainably, to ensure that I never run out of fish?

I.E. getting vermin-type fish into a tank and breeding them, then every so often releasing some into a fishing area?

From my understanding, the fish your fisherdwarfs catch has no relation to the vermin in your water except name. Your river can be out of fish when there are several vermin visibly swimming in it. You can fish sustainably by limiting the number of fisherdwarfs, but this isn't much of a problem on ocean maps. Also, the fish will come back after a while if they run out. I've heard this will stop after a while, but you should know that running out once doesn't mean you just lost a source of food.

Oceans never run out of fish, in my experience.

I recommend, a 1:1:1 ( fishery:fisher:fish cleaner ) ratio.
