speak for yourself salmo....we may be more open minded than you think...

One thing that jumpted out at me was:

CONCLUSIONS:
If the goal is to re-establish or rebuild wild populations for conservation purposes (i.e. conservation releases), current hatchery practices appear to result in competitively and reproductively inferior fish that limit their effectiveness. Long-term application of such releases will moreover inhibit local adaptation and thus natural productivity.

On the other hand, if the goal is to supplement wild populations to increase fisheries (i.e. fisheries releases) while reducing impacts on the wild populations, such reproductive inferiority could be advantageous, limiting the negative effects of introgression. However, the threats of ecological interference and altered selection regimes associated with the introduction of hatchery fish remain.
Poorly managed hatchery programs can alter or even destroy biological diversity of species/populations."

I think the second goal addresses a more palatable position that a well managed hatchery can address sustaining wild stocks and increasing fisheries releases. Rather than bashing science or suing the government, I say let's figure out the means to make a broader vision happen and not be too narrow in our objectives.
