Don't confuse two very separate issues...

1. The study is not anti-hatchery, nor does it call for ending any hatchery programs. Hatchery programs are necessary for harvest fisheries, be they sport, tribal, or non-tribal commercial.

2. What the study is saying is that pretending you can use hatchery fish to rescue wild runs with "wild broodstock" programs can be very dangerous for the fish...they have consistently been shown to NOT work. Except in the direst of dire circumstances (i.e., Redfish Lake Sockeye), the fish are far better off being left in the river to spawn.

Fish on...
