"Rockfish remained steady, thanks to good management and reproductive success. Fortunately, juvenile numbers have been strong in the Chesapeake Bay region.
Adults who migrate into the Bay each spring have declined recently causing concern, but overall reproduction has been consistent."
Seems to be the case just about everywhere. Interesting report for anyone who is interested.
