Fish incest, to the extent that it occurs in wild and hatchery populations, is unlikely to be the primary cause of poor performance, since it likely is very heavily selected against in both the developmental and rearing environments. Size and time of release of hatchery fish is correlated to their survival and impact on other fish. In some cases, the number of hatchery fish released should be further reduced to avoid or reduce their impact to natural stocks we are trying to restore and recover.

You hit some very important points for meaningful hatchery reform.

In the past couple years a number of blue ribbon panel reports on hatchery reform have been published, and these may be of interest to readers of this thread. Here's a few to start with:

The Hatchery Reform Scientific Group (for Puget Sound and the Washington coast): http://www.hatcheryreform.org

Trout Unlimited's 2004 report on "Landscape Hatcheries": linked from the TU homepage: http://www.tu.org

The Columbia Basin's Artificial Production Review and Evaluation:

the 2001 California DFG and NMFS hatchery review
