he's right:

Blanchet said the average female will release about 1 million eggs during the spawning season. Multiplied by the tens of million of female specks in the system, its easier to understand how the species is able to survive when beset by so many predators.

That also explains why the system remains so productive despite the abuse. But biologists know those wounds eventually will be mortal.
"As the habitat shrinks, production will begin dropping off, but it will probably be a very slow process," Blanchet said. "The problem with that is that we won't know when we reached that tipping point until we're several years past it."

It will be a sad ending to an amazing resource.
