It’s more like at the first place, with 26% of the mass. Majority doesn’t mean “half of”.
Nevertheless, even if the fishing industry produced no plastic pollution, it would still destroy the ecosystems directly and indirectly (breaking the food chains by fishing tons of krill and small fish to feed the farms)

Majority literally means the subset making up more than half of the set.

Yeah, “plurality” is the generic word for a leading sum, “majority” absolutely does mean >50%.
