Triploids for anadramous fish would serve no purpose... because they are sterile, they would never return to nearshore marine areas or river systems on a spawning migration. They would just roam the ocean getting bigger and bigger as all their energy is invested in growth instead of gonad production.

Great for trout in contained impoundments... just keep getting bigger and bigger til they are caught. Pointless for salmon/steelhead.
