Doc,

I'll make my comment, for now, very brief, as it's almost 3am.

Hatchery production in this state has, for the most part, been assessed as successful or not based on smot production, rather than adult return.

This is like paying farmers for how many seeds they plant, rather than how many plants they grow.

A major goal of the HSRG is to set production goals so that hatchery programs can actually be graded on performance, rather than graded on mere operation.

Later.

Todd.
