Keith,

Funny you mention harvest as a solution. How else do you think we remove them? It'll likely be harvest, segregating hatchery fish, making hatchery fish that spawn well and don't reduce wild fitness

It also makes good sense to put any near zero mortality harvest method above higher mortality fisheries.



There is no such animal, hatchery fish are unfit for breeding with wild stocks, no matter if their F1 broodstock of F1000 mutes.
Also there no such thing as a zero mortality harvest method.
