Chum and pink, even sockeye, should not be too bad for GH/WB from WDFW perspective as they aren't heavily taken in the ocean fisheries. But if the PNPs went for coho or Chinook, and essentially claimed ownership of their personally-grown product, then those ocean fisheries would have to be really constrained. Might mess up relations with BC and AK as the PNP may be more willing to fight for their fish.

Plus, it would put the state hatchery operations in direct comparison with PNPs. Such things as maintenance, legal (HSRG?) compliance, costs of production, and so on would be out there for the public and Leg to see.

It would also make for an interesting legal issue with the tribes. The Tribes don't have rights to privately cultured shellfish. They do have rights to publically cultured finfish and shellfish. Private finfish would be a very interesting case.
