At one of the Pacific Coast Steelhead meetings it seemed obvious that the only successful steelhead hatchery programs were the bigger ones, I think in excess of 100K. These 10K programs could be from 3 females; they probably aren't but that is not a lot of parents.

Would be pretty easy to look at returns versus releases but I am not sure that in any one year you had a wide range for plants. Need that to control for the ocean.
