Well that makes a ton of sense. We want the wild stocks to come back so lets not clip hatchery fish so everyone thinks that there is a lot of wild fish. I've been under the impression that we pay for these hatcheries so we have fish to eat. Why would I pay someone to raise fish that I can't eat.

So if I get my hands on one of those wands and scan a finned fish that beeps am I legal? Course not, but it would make a good story for the gamie.
