That is a fair question.

WFC court actions leads one to believe that gene banks are the solution as WFC goes full steam ahead with lawsuits to stop hatchery production and this could prove to be a case of jumping the gun.

If hatchery fish aren’t the culprit then getting rid of those annoying hatchery fish would be a self serving strategic move of the minority before the true answer unveils itself.

A better solution would be to wait and see if gene banks are a godsend before jumping off the deep end and finding out that hatchery fish are not the problem that some make it out to be.
