My take on The TU lawsuit is it is an effort to push reform of hatcheries, not specifically a case of hatchery smolts eating wild fry.

Bottom line is the overall resource-hatchery and wild salmon in Puget Sound is no longer working . Hatchery fish survive so poorly that fishery must be shut down, not just for associated wild fish, but just to maintain hatchery program. This is a waste of $$, as well as a detrement to wild fish. WDFW must step back, request negotiation, and allow substantial reform of its hatchery progam. This means far fewer fish are produced and released. The hatchery fish that remain must be carefully honed to provide for good fisheries and not be a detriment to wild fish.
