Actually Sg, if they marked all the hatchery releases, ad-only retention might not turn out so bad. BTW Sg, NMFS has already pointed out the problem with the proposed harvest rates on URB's. The managers basically said "thanks for your comments" since the ESU is not listed. (Yet?) This kinda stuff doesn't end up in status reports either. Crazy!
