JJ:

Thanks for cutting through the crap. The question before us is - Can we gauge the need for ESA listing of wild stocks by measuring the number of genetically similar hatchery fish in the system?

Remember that we share 97% of our DNA with a chimpanzee. (I am not sure that's accurate, but I have seen it reported many times.) Using that comparison we can judge the chimpanzee populations are doing just fine as there are lots of humans in the system.
