If the fish are sexually mature they should be used in a manner commensurate with their presence on the wild spawning grounds. We don't know enough to understand how the jacks, resident steelhead, etc. contribute to the run but they do.

One of the major surprises during my career was that anadromous and resident my kiss are the same fish. I am pretty sure that I handled a few wild steelhead smolts that had spawned before smolting.

To be clear, I was speaking about putting my name on professional papers/talks/books/etc. WDFW will simply ignore me.

I agree that hatcheries should mitigate for documented loss due to habitat destruction. I do not consider increased fishing effort/catch to be something to mitigate for. You fish for what the ecosystem can produce if you are using the open ocean. And, capacity has to include the ocean because if food decreases, sedation increases then you get less back.
