There was a considerable interaction between size-at-release and number of fish released, such that low postrelease densities were subjected to relatively high proportional mortality. Thus, when fish were released in low numbers and at small sizes, the fish were subjected to relatively high proportional mortality rates for long periods of time (while they grew towards the 80-mm-TL ontogenetic shift size) and consequently produced few or no survivors (Fig.
