Salmo g.-

Have there been any studies done that show the percentages of hatchery w/ hatchery spawners compared to hatchery w/ wild spawners when hatchery fish do spawn in the wild.

Do you believe that a hatchery male is more likely to spawn with a wild female or vice versa?

When I have thought about it, given the spawning behavior of both sexes, I can not predict if either situation would be more prevelant then the other.

Thanks!
