Salmo, if you just replace the out of basin hatchery production, with an equal amount of Broodstock production. How does this increase the wild harvest. Equal is equal. I know that the artificial production overall increases harvest, but are they ever going to allow us to stop it?. And if there are surplus wild escapement, and they are set for harvest, would it not be better to use some as Broodstock, since they most likely would end up in the nets anyway. If we had allotted them for Broodstock, it might lesson the harvest days as it would reduce the surplus, and we could rid ourselves of the out of basin cross degradation.

Which is the best of two evils?
