I'll bet dog turds to donuts and hold the stakes in my mouth that an artificially hatched wild fry planting vs. an all natural wild fish spawn with the same starting number unfertilized eggs would produce more returning fish providing the hand distributed fry were started out in a receptive environment.

Think the State would go for such a test?

Why not?
