| Notes | Attempts to define the concept of "wild" salmon as a continuum including hatchery fish. The author asserts that criticism of the effects of hatcheries on wild salmonids is influenced by values, not science. Includes statistics on hatcheries, wetland loss and runs. There are fascinating political overtones here. M.S. Thesis, Dept. of Fisheries and Widlife, Fisheries Science. |
