If they claim the biggest biomass of fish is under 18”
Letting them breed an extra year should also be beneficial.

That's a point people seem not to understand - lowering size limits doesn't automatically mean harvesting more males. You could just as easily be killing females without giving them a chance to spawn.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think fluke generally start spawning at 16"? If so 18" gives them a couple of cycles.
