Yes, that fish that we eat every day is endangered. Over 50 years population of this fish fell down about 51%.
Though, we eat it in small cans, it is really big fish (250 kilograms and 2,5 meters)

Whale shark is the biggest shark and fish in the world, but it doesn't eat fish or other big animals, only plankton. It can measure up to 18 meters, but it isn't dangerous to people (it can hit someone with its fin). It can live even 100 years.
