If someone answers YES, Please explain to me and all the other readers how much delayed mortality is involved and how you calculate it.

Yes it is, b/c the fish has a better chance of living in the water than in your fish box.
Obviously you have the facts on "delayed mortality" (which by the way we're all subject to) so pleasse share. Even if its 99%, that 1% of fish deserves a chance to live.
C&R has obviously worked for the billfish population. Those fish go thru a lot more fighting than a rock pulled in w/ a broomstick.
