wild fish vs hatchery fish

OregonLive has a posting on this very issue including the latest decision by a Federal Judge


Releasing Sandy River hatchery steelhead, salmon thrown into flux by federal judge

A federal judge has stepped into the middle of Oregon’s wild-versus-hatchery fish debate, ordering federal officials to do more to ensure hatchery fish planned for release this year don’t harm wild fish on the Sandy River, a key Columbia River tributary.

The decision has big implications for fish and anglers, not only on the Sandy, but throughout the West Coast. Similar lawsuits have been filed on other rivers in Oregon and in California.
