Got some stats and science on that? Genuinely interested

Ah no I dont have any to link unfortunately but I have read actual scientific study showing snapper and other species mortality increased markedly...actually alarmingly from more than 10m depth.
Swimming off strongly is no indication that fatal damage has not already occurred.

I keep every legal snap from more than 10m now and have been for a few years.

Will trawl Google tommorow and see of I can find the study to link.

I'd be more interested in Kingfish in 100-200m.
