Just to keep numbers easy us 5% mortality on a CnR fish. Remember that isn't 5% of the total run.

So to again to keep the numbers easy say you have a run of 2000 fish and 30% of them are caught in the season which would be 600 fish. With CnR you would have 30 dead fish or 1.5% of the total run rather then 20% if everyone of those fish are killed. Just so everyone understands the impact on the total run isn't 5% as has been thrown around.

This isn't a magic bullet but it is a step to at least start to try to continue have angling opportunity while limiting the impact.
