I read just the opposite, with studies always showing that not only do older fish (of any species) yield more eggs but that those eggs are just as healthy and often more so then their younger counterparts.
Just try and find a article that says old fish produce less or less viable eggs. I dare you.
Maybe there's a needle in the haystack out there but I couldn't find it. All I could find was that older = better when it comes to spawning success, fecundity, and egg viability.
