Excerpt from North Pacific Salmonid Enhancement Programs and Genetic Resources: Issues and ConcernsNps concerns re¿ect a general management philosophy that seeks to avoid actions having potential to alter the genetic composition of animal stocks. Since hatcheries breed relatively few fish to produce large numbers of adults, they logically pose a threat to the genetic integrity of wild stocks. The issues raised by the hatchery transcend genetic concerns to include conservation of species of vital importance to local subsistence fishers as well. Some fear increased commercial salmon harvest activity (which will follow as the hatchery attains its production goals) will severely tax both wild salmon and char stocks, mainstays of Northwest Alaska's subsistence economy. Because char and salmon coexist in the open waters of Kotzebue Sound during harvest time, this concern is also logically based. Overharvest of wild fish stocks could occur because these stocks cannot sustain the same high level of harvest as hatchery fish.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
