We won't know what it has really done for the fish, until the program is shut down for 5-10 yr's, and no harvest or supplimentation encounters the fish while this cycle occurs. It would be bad science to presume that the program is having a healthy long term effect on the fish, while there is no evidence that the program has helped the fish return to their natural state. Any hatchery fish, snider or not, in the ecosystem, is not a natural state.

But no harvest is completely unrealistic. The gene bank idea sounds great. Everything goes to shitt with gillnets in the pic.
