It's an incomplete locution, but probably refers to death.

This is the complete sentence:
"Most large fish have been fished out of existence since they have no time to reproduce"

Can be translated so?
out of existence = endangered

Endangered is still living, out of existence means not in existence, far worse than endangered.
