In a scenario where the fishing of the grouper fishes increases due to high demand in restaurant, it is possible that the population of the Yellow Fish Snapper might increase in number.

This is because, fishing is a business and the business tries to make the highest profits by serving what is in demand.

If resources are allocated towards grouper fishing, it is possible that the population of Yellowfish snapper, at least in the short-term might increase.
