Alaskan authorities study interactions between hatchery-reared and wild salmon

摘要

Alaska's state-run hatchery program has long provided a significant portion of the state's salmon harvest, along with millions in income and jobs for the Alaskan people. There have been, however, concerns regarding the interactions of these hatchery-reared salmon on wild stocks. And while there has been considerable research on this topic, little of it has dealt specifically with Alaska's habitats or the types of fish reared in Alaskan hatcheries.
