JCB,

What do you mean by reintroduced hatchery?

The last several posts raise interesting points and I'm not so proud as to defend all my points against them as I am not an expert, but I'm still skeptical that it's clear-cut better to buy farmed fish. None of you addressed my 5th point about the value to the public in having a commercial fishery to justify habitat protection. If the gen. public doesn't care about fish abundance, will the developers loggers, ect. eliminate the remaining habitat? With commercial fishing eliminated, will sportfishing receive more heat from environmentalists? Will we lose our right to fish? I think this is a very gray issue.
