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.

Well, I disagree with both of you. I read the Oregon Public Broadcasting
piece, the "Science" article, a dozen or so of the references cited in the
article, another dozen of the references cited in those, and a smattering
of
those that PubMed thought were similar. Any layman.....or any specialist
in
any of the disciplines concerned, for that matter.....who thinks he or she
has a firm grasp on the situation has got his or her head firmly planted
up
his or her ass. The fish are ****ing doomed......this is what happens to
things that no one gives a **** about. Get over it.
