Tuna and tons of other fish are food sources and we don’t breed them. They just grow natively in sufficient numbers. Often invasive species don’t have a natural predator in the new ecosystem, so their population grows unchecked.
Why use CRISPR, birth control, nest culling or other methods which cost resources instead of eating them which is a net gain in resources?

Commerical fishing at the current scale is not sustainable
All the more reason to pursue food sources from existing invasive species like pythons.
