It's a time duration that you can handle the fish with chance of survival should you want to release it. It's just a rough gauge.

Yes, of course. But they're not as common as the Tambans found at Bedok Jetty.

Take make great live bait for surf fishing, or you can keep them as bait for pond fishing if you're into that.
