One thing that baffles me (as just a guy, not a scientist) is the micro level of management. I.e. the S fork Stilly chinook being distinct from N fork fish. Why does it need to be so specific? If it weren't so specific it might be easier to rebuild perhaps with broodstock(?) But even that might only be a temporary fix.
