Of course Rockfish will be targeted, what can you expect, man will attempt to exterminate all species that are available. Next thing you know there will be a city sponsored derby to catch the largest because the merchants make money and the Mayors and council are all for making money at any expense. Man will push to the limit every freedom and killing of resources so for a while there will be Rockfish like there was with the crabs, halibut, clams and all of the other fish.
