If we were truly serious about wild fish recovery we would stop planting any and all hatchery fish UNLESS they can be harvested in a clean fishery. By that, for example, we would wipe out Minter Creek coho and chum and fish adults in Carr Inlet and the creek.

We simply can't have mixed stock fisheries because the release mortality/encounters is too high. If we were willing to have, say 90% of the fish in MS fishery be marked, then it might work. But the proportions used today just kill off the wild fish slower.
