News article in a popular business publication
June 7 - If current trends continue, farmed seafood will overtake ocean fishing as the world's largest source of seafood by 2025. Aggressive over-fishing of the world's oceans and the inability of world governments to agree on fishing limits mean that farming will become critical to the industry's ability to meet worldwide seafood demand. Additionally, recent concerns about mercury levels in wild-caught fish have led many consumers to prefer farmed fish, further creating increased demand for this relatively new source of seafood.

1)No, since it is written that the governments are not coming to a consensus on fishing doesn't means that they are not agreeing usually,and even nothing is mentioned related to the consensus for seafood farming
2) No,since the increased demand has just encouraged farms,but there is no info about fish population going to alarming levels
3)No,since there is no mention of such thing in Article 2
4)No,since mercury level related thing is written in Article 1 and not article 3
