Well, I think it could be improved, but I mean hatcheries can have very different objectives. The major hatcheries that the salmon enhancement program has built were built to provide fish to commercial fishing and also to recreational fishing as they changed the species composition. They were not built to be conservation hatcheries, right?
Community-based hatcheries can be very effective, just the way Josh referred to them. You can return some spawning populations by having localized community hatcheries. Also, maybe you don't do work in one stream only through the community. You could have several streams alternating through time.
You really have to be clear on the objective of your hatchery before you really look at what's being done and what could be done. I think there's great opportunity in providing the diversity by using more community-based hatcheries. The push-back you get is that they can be more expensive, because you need to have more trained staff and more widely diversified facilities and so on. Or, you could build larger facilities again, but use “satelliting”, as we used to call it, where you could bring in different populations and move them back out to their home streams. I think we've learned so much about salmon genetics, physiology and genomics that we could use hatcheries in a much more directed way. That would be different than just producing large numbers of fish.
