Answer:

Overharvesting fish depletes some species to very low numbers and drives others to extinction. In practical terms, it reduces valuable living resources to such low levels that their exploitation is no longer sustainable.

Overharvesting swordfish could cause their extinction and mess up the food chain, harming (starving) their predators.
