you are inaccurate about PS tribes mass marking for years. Tulalips for example to not clip but mark some fish with tags in the head. Why do you think the checkers use wands? Because not all hatcherey fish are clipped....especially if they come from a tribal hatchery. The tribes have opposed fin clipping ever since it began...they oppose it because they want more fish to harvest....nothing more.
