Not sure about the overall health and speed of recovery but this can't do anything but help. It least it's a start. Especially since European fish mix with Western Atlantic fish. We should hopefully see more tuna in the years to come. We need bait/forage fish for those tuna though and that is a whole different issue

Buzz makes a good point, more small fish are a good thing, however it seems like we have a lack of larger giants which isn't a good thing. Those giant stocks will be slower to rebound until these small fish grow up
