Well, that's not true: higher sea levels do not give more fish.

Reason: the level of water above the sea floor is (on average) very 
large. If this distance would increase a few centimetre, this wouldn't 
extend the living space for fish significantly.

But the sea levels are falling (on average), by a rate of about 4m per 
millennium.

This could be estimated from the current lake near the Airport 
Fiomicino. The Lake Tiberius was formerly the harbour of Rome, but is 
now 8m above sea level.

Since the harbour had sea-level at the time of ancient Rome (roughly 
2000 years ago), the sea-level has fallen by 8 m in 2000 years or 4 m in 
a millennium.

Other ways to estimate the same results would be:
- analysing the age of corals on the current land of atolls
- determine the age of marine fossils on mountains
- hight of ancient harbours above the sea
- age of ocean-related human artefacts in current mountains
