Just to be clear, "science" does not necessarily favor any option. What the results of some recent studies show is not nearly as cut and dried as Todd suggests. I posted a response to this statement over a year ago, with citations that show that not all hatchery programs lead to a loss of abundance as Todd suggests. Here is a link to that thread:

The results of those BACI analyses are still valid. Additionally since that post there is are at least two studies on spring Chinook in Johnson Creek on the S. Fork Salmon River and Catherine Creek on the Grande Ronde that did not show loss of productivity.
