I know these waters are more open here but, the same principle may still apply. Keep in mind, I'm no marine biologist...

You nailed it, they are the crappie and bluegill of the saltwater. If you don't cull some or supplementally feed them, they will stunt themselves. They grow quick and spawn at an early age. Taking some out of the population only helps the overall health of the population.
