I think the federal law that you are referring to here (and other places in this thread) only applies to tribal releases when the hatchery program is paid for by federal funds. In the case of the Elliott Bay net pens, I'm pretty sure that this program is paid for by a settlement agreement and not federal funds, therefore they would not be subject to that requirement.
