I'm assuming the fear is they mingle with wild spawning fish - both in the lower river and upper forks - but was curious what research has shown on it.

Or maybe an issue is that there hasn't been a ton of research done on it.

The Quinault do not raise steelhead in pens on the lake. Only salmon, (sockeye and kings).
