Personally I think the length of the C&k season is another factor. There is many ways to control harvest numbers and many ways to combined them. We may have higher pressure that involves using multiple management tools but it’s not impossible
I have said it before on this forum there is many jurisdictions south of the border with a much higher population density creating high pressure and they have created effective management plans
Alberta needs to start combining different management tools creating a management plan not look at one tool on its own
But regardless Red bullets point is 100% correct larger more mature brood stock produce more eggs and often larger eggs too. I know this for a fact from managing brood stock and a hatchery for aquaculture
