For what it's worth, a friend of mine whose a long time lobster diver tells me he sees the same fish year after year in the same general location. It has a deformed tail, easy to spot.
Makes me surmise that maybe populations of the same fish locate to the same general area each year. So it wouldn't take long for everybody to pound the snot out of easy to get to fish. While the harder to access populations go relatively unscathed. So spillover fish don't as quickly replenish nearshore populations. Just a small part of a myriad of issues that have an influence on a wild fish and its habitat.

An old mans two cents.
