In no way shape or form are hatchery and wild fish the same. Hatchery fish are interbread. They did not come from the river that they are planted in. There gentic makeup is not the same as the wild fish in that system. They are smaller and inferior to a wild fish. Huge plants of hatchery fish compete with wild fish for food in the river when they are smolts and compete for food in the ocean.
