Yes and Yes
Do you know if this method of regulating harvests is actually used anywhere successfully?

Not to my knowledge in AB.
AFAIK in AB we:
1.Test net a lake
2. Determine population structure
3. Determine population based on the standardized 'effort' used in 1.
4. Increase retention or reduce retention based on 2. and 3.
maybe, just maybe, do a couple replicates if we have the time/money
