Abstract
  • Artificial propagation has been a prominent part of the management of salmonids in Oregon since the late 1800s, and will continue to have an important role to play in the recovery of wild stocks of anadromous salmonids in Oregon. Hatcheries and reviews of hatchery programs have been controversial and are likely to continue to “enjoy” this distinction, in part because of the inherent complexity of the subject and the fact that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife must operate the hatchery program within a large number of constraints. These constraints include policy agreements with other states, with independent Tribes, with federal agencies; an array of specific mitigation agreements, to address the sometimes-conflicting interests of sport and commercial fishermen and the conservation community; and, in some cases, federal laws such as the Endangered Species Act. Hatcheries can play an important role in salmon management and recovery, but the historical vision for hatcheries was inadequate. The purpose of this report is to provide a scientifically sound contemporary vision for hatcheries.
