It's too bad Salmo g. The WDFW staff was given instructions "to begin development of a joint policy agreement on salmon and steelhead hatchery programs with Tribal Co-Managers that has similar development and joint commitment provisions to those in “The Salmonid Disease Control Policy of the Fisheries Co-Managers of Washington State.” The disease control policy is very well thought out having very specific standards for 1) surveillance of pathogens; 2) fish health monitoring; 3) hatchery sanitation; 4) transfer of gametes and eggs, fish, carcasses, and water; and 5) site specific pathogen containment plans. These are specific to three levels of risk, i.e. transfers within watersheds, within fish health management zones, and across fish health management zones. These include almost 20 pages of technical specifications that have to be followed EVERYWHERE to protect fish health. You don't just get to decide what you want to do in any one particular watershed. If this template, which was suggested as an example of a successful co-management policy, was followed (suggested by Jim Anderson, past Executive Director of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission), they might have actually developed something useful.
