You can see where they decided "Profit, with no consideration of anything else!" was the answer

I'm going to guess it wasn't a decision, so much as tech availability and pricing. radar, sonar, more powerful boats with bigger trawl nets.

If they'd had that stuff earlier it'd be the same tragedy of the same commons.
