The "hatchery operating partner" will be using their cut to operate the hatchery.

The ones doing the harvesting for them, though, will be one or more non-tribal commercial fishers.

It looks to me like taking a state run hatchery, putting it into private hands, and then using it to raise salmon for non-tribal commercial fishers, and those non-tribal commercial fishers would be cashing in on some of the catch, and using the money from the rest of the catch to pay the operators of the hatchery.

Any benefits to non-commercial fishers and the private "partner" running the hatchery will be...incidental.

Yes, that includes us.

Fish on...
