Jerry G,
I agree with your statement that scientific studies can be influenced by the groups that commission them. The way to cast doubt on a scientific study is to research who financed the study and to point out their agenda and why their agenda would benefit from the results of the study. I think it is only fair that each study be looked at individualy for bias toward the organization that finaced it, and not suspect all studies becuase they are financed. If you have info on why or how the above studies are biased I would be interested in reading it.

If hatchery fish are counted in with wild fish will we still be able to catch them? The future of wild salmon and steelhead in the PNW look bleaker every day.
