Yes, but at least some straightforward science can expose the situation
and maybe start to turn it around. The saddest part is that properly
managed hatcheries really *could* be a benefit to wild fish.


I disagree. IMO, by carefully managing hatcheries the result can be more
natural, but hatchery produced fish will always be different than
naturally spawned wild fish. Hatcheries are a last resort for restoring
native, wild fish populations.
