Off topic, but do you have any Cracker or Bronze Bream infographics? I know they are extremely slow growing species.

The legal size limit is the problem because fish are kept before they can reproduce. I still think there should be a minimum and maximum size limit for certain species. Big Kob are kept that could lay thousands of eggs.
