This is a big problem.

I understand the claims made by WT, but feel that their proposed methods are too extreme.

Why cease all hatchery production when other steps could be taken to mitigate the problem that hatchery fish pose to wild fish as claimed by WT??


Why not change the timing of hatchery fish release or release hatchery fish at a smaller size so as to reduce the predation on Chinook smolts?

There has to be a better way...cant wait to see how this one ends.
