It's interesting that they are such a slow growing species, reach an age of 42 years old and only reach sexual maturity at 1 metre long... 6 years old!!

It just shows you how vulnerable our fish stocks are...

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.
