How would we be amplifying abundance, if 200k OOB eggs are used or 200k wild eggs are used, the return would be about the same. The benifit comes from stopping the continued dilution of the wild Gene, thus making a stronger wild fish when mingling occurres,

If we really cared, we would not fish when they are in the system, and further reduce numbers from hook mortality.

But we do, we are all hypocrites

Merry Christmas, and fish on, Matt
