overfisher
Marine resource depleter
An overfisher is a person or vessel that catches fish beyond sustainable limits, depleting stocks faster than they can replenish.
The term typically applies to commercial fishing operations that exceed quotas or ignore conservation regulations: Overfishers have devastated cod populations in the North Atlantic.
