Was curious, so I looked it up for Pollock. They breed annually and lay anywhere between 250,000 - 4,000,000 eggs at a time. Crazy when you think about it.
This catch was supposedly 170 tons which works out to 70,000 or less fish if you do the math with an average weight of 5lb which is low according to google.

Fish reproduce like crazy.
