The poofs and wikkans permeate all levels of Olympia like gribbles and leeches. It has nothing to do with the tiny remaining commercial fishery in WA.

    Disagree in part at what was said about hatcheries not making a difference. There's so many other factors... Hatcheries are the reason any fish are still here on dammed up rivers and rivers or creeks with highways on them. If we didn't have them, there wouldn't be many fish at all. There's no habitat left. There's roads along every river system. Take a look at the tribes and how they raise fish. Check out the Quinault hatchery and the Hanford Reach stretch of the Columbia. You will see why the runs there are strong. Until the dams go and habitats are intact hatcheries are the best choice in my opinion to keep salmon and steelhead around for cultural purposes, economy, and for the enjoyment of recreating.

      @nunliski I have watched, read and talked with several who would disagree. Hatcheries can make a stronger fish. Did you look into what I talked about? There are hatcheries that operate differently than most. To each their own opinion. I see both sides of the coin here. Check out hatchery-wild co-exist. 🎣

      Out of all the eggs that are layed only one of those eggs return back to the river to spawn if you think that a hatchery fish with birth defects or genetic defects is going to go into the ocean live I'm feed for a few years and return to the river to spawn ?? Not a chance only the best genes are going to survive wether its hatchery or native all the hatchery does is try to make it so instead pf one egg making it back to spawn its 2 or three eggs. Hopefully that makes sense. I'd love to see hatch boxes used again and more private funded fish hatcheries and a little more attention to detail on the commercial fishing vessels that catch salmon as by catch hatcheries are absolutely not the problem and can produce salmon in a natural way.

    • @NorthwestOpenSeason
      @NorthwestOpenSeason Před 8 měsíci +3

      Whether a fish is hatchery raised or wild, if it makes it all the way back to spawning grounds, its genetics are superior. Broodstock programs are using wild genetics for production anyway, and there aren’t any pure wild genetics any more. Good information in this video, I just wish people would stop saying that blowing up dams and hatcheries will solve our problems.

      Every species alive today survived 4000 ppm torrid heat and three intermittent ice ages. After 2023 longest rainiest snowiest COLDEST Winter since the 1880s, it will be interesting to see the first 2025 pink salmon returns. If they are way up, WDFW will talk about 'ideal' ocean conditions. If they are way down, WDFW will caw-caw-caw around Climate Chains, _because Ecology gets a cut of Insley's unconstitutional carbon tax and CC&T auctions!_

      Archeologists have discovered many truths about human population rise and fall. I believe you will whiteness a sudden decline in human populations worldwide. With so many things going on currently. It won’t take Mother Natures wrath to assist it over the tipping point. Money won’t be able to fix things after that. I’m not generally a pessimistic person. But the simple facts in total world wide are to compelling to argue against anymore.

    Escapement numbers have been and continue to be on the decline. Where I worked, in Canada, indigenous people and sport fishermen were battling over paltry returns ( in terms of Chinook, the Yukon River Panel determined at the time an escapement goal of 2000 for chinook on the Alsek/ Tatsheshini R.) while the Alaska commercial fishery was pulling in 90,000 fish. Gave a commercial fisherman who was hitchhiking back to Oregon a ride- told me he only worked couple months but made enough during the season that he could go travel. In a report to the Yukon River Panel, there was a recommendation to buy back fishing licenses to allow for more fish to reach spawning grounds in Canada- ignored. There are very specific parameters for spawning streams, from the size of aggregates in the channel, flow (veolocity), water quality, and couple other limiting factors, most important, given the ongoing challenges with climate- water temperature. In 2021 it is estimated that over a billion (yeah! - billion) marine mammals died from the Heat Dome that hit the Pacific Northwest. Consider, the food that smaller fish eat, located in the near shore (littoral zone) have no where to go, and are killed off- what's left to eat? Is it any wonder with all the other problems, like dams, development, over irrigation drawing down streams. etc etc etc
    Cut back the harvest of wild stocks and give them a chance- and yes the climate has changed over millennia and eons, but the fish had a chance to adapt. But this "rate of change" in the temperature is outside of historical norms and beyond adaptation...

    Tribal Netting. Commercial Netting. Sea Lions. Until we reduce all three, Hatcheries are the Salmons best bet for survival. Even then, with 6 decades of introgression, most Coho & Chinook are all hatchery produced fish whether adipose is clipped or not.

    • @robertmarmaduke186

      WA and BC hatchery operations have completely different Cost-per-Return rate. Why is that? Because WA State is poaching everything to refill their pension fund *they looted.* Hatcheries should be eliminated, on a heirarchy of Cost-per-Return. WDFW claim the 'sub-species' are unique, but that's a lie. Records show Eastern WA were wiped out by the early settlers ditch irrigation, then repopulated later _with N CA salmon, all from one system._ Let Natives rear the salmon they depend on. It's low tech. We can't afford State 'workers'.

    I just watched a pbs show on the salmon disappearing. When you build a dam this is what's gonna happen, that and over fishing I'm sure. A couple of bird colonies are doing real well and the seals have figured out how to get an easy meal! Probably a billion dollars spent on saving of the salmon species! Just so man can make a living and assure the species survive.
    I also want to say, I hate eating salmon, so don't blame me when they're gone. I love the species themselves but not the flavor.
