One of the other problems is sizing. If you're only allowed to bring back fish over a certain size, over time you are selecting for smaller fish. If bigger fish are more reproductively successful[0] you are also decreasing the rate at which populations recover.

Yup, but that depends a lot on the fish species. Each fish is different.
