| Notes | Raising fish in captivity causes them to adapt to the hatchery setting. Indeed, the traits that help them succeed in the hatchery environment, often work against their ability to spawn successfully in the wild. This doctoral dissertation is a look at some of the environmental factors, particularly rearing density, that drive steelhead adaptations to hatcheries. This is a well written and engaging look at some of the problems around hatchery salmonids. |
