There is a large Pink hatchery near Homer Alaska that pumps out thousands of those hungry guys. Don't they compete for the same food as the other species or do they supplement their diet with krill? I can see where a glut of those fish could put undue pressure on the ecosystem.

One other question comes to mind. In Asia where you were saying only pinks exist anymore were there hatcheries that destroyed the salmon runs or was it just overharvest as outlined in the PEW report. Most of the underdeveloped nations have exploited all their resources with abandon, completely devoid of environmental restrictions. Fair?
