I would think there is a very small mortality rate on winter schoolies.

The cold water temps contain alot of O2 and they are fiesty little critters when released.

Remember reading one time that mortality rate on released steelhead is aorund
20% are larger fish and expend alot of energy compared to a schoolie that is landed quickly.
