Add to this spectrum of "harvest" to "conservation" hatchery programs the ones that are nominally for "harvest"...but actually contribute the bulk of the spawners for the "natural" run, too.

Shut down a lot of Columbia River tributary Chinook hatchery programs and the amount of "wild spawners" will go right down the tubes, too, since that's where a lot of their spawners come from...the hatcheries.

Fish on...
