Apparently there is a limit to the bounty of the sea; after fishing several thousand fish, I can't fish anymore.  I got the "there are no fish in the X location" and now my fishing zones show up as not being usable.  All seems at least half-reasonable.

The funny thing is that there are still jellyfish and anchovy and the such all over the place.  So the bug is either that fish are showing up after they shouldn't, or that fish can't be fished even if they've shown up.

The fish you see popping up everywhere are vermin.  Those are not fishable.

Also, when you deplete the fishing population in a region, you'll have to wait 'til either the next season or the next year (not sure which) before more fish are available.  In most cases, you won't need more than two or three fisherdwarves in a given year.  The rest should be assigned to Fish Cleaning but not Fishing.

Well, that's kind of what I was reporting (under a strange title).

And what the title was indicating: it's been a year since I've been able to fish anything.  Permanently overfishing a pond makes sense, but it's weird to overfish the ocean permanently by fishing off a pier.

I'm in the same general situation, but without the ocean.  Given that turtles normally will spawn in a new underground pond, far from any existing specimens, doesn't it seem a bit odd that they can't migrate into the area?

I also stopped getting wild animals when a merchant killed off the last one of a wave.  Not sure if any of that is related, though.

I fished the hell out my river on 38c in the first two years now there are no fish anywhere.

Most of the fish just rotted on the banks, what a waste.

[Toady One]

It doesn't replenish populations at this point.  I just haven't gotten there yet after the last rewrite of the wilderness population system.

Well, it's a good thing I hadn't quite gotten around to slaughtering all my livestock.  Although I guess goblins are a pretty good source of bone too.
