I don't think it would be needed.
I think it was pointed out in some other recent thread - don't try to compare you abilities to stay underwater with fish ability to stay out of it to get to any conclusions. Analogy is a poor argument in this case. Some mammals can stay underwater for a very, very long time... So if you had different abilities to stay under water would it change how long fish can to stay without it? Nope... Just another pointless analogy.
Salamanders for example can regrow limbs and I suspect a mortality rate from lost legs is way lower than in humans in similar conditions, even if it makes us feel really sorry for them.
I think barbless/barbed would be a simple enough experiment which could be done in a large aquarium. Fish is fish in a lake, or in a fish tank. Everything else is just a talk about our feelings.
I am sorry to point out obvious things
