I watched the hole thing before commenting, but he missed the entire point of the documentary. The entire point of the film is that dams have made it impossible for salmon and Steele head to reproduce where they once did. They then state that hatcheries were created as a necessity to save the salmon and steele head species, but the quality of salmon and strength of the species is weakened when they are inbred in hatcheries. There is also a complimentary documentary they produced called Damnation that covers this topic in even greater detail. The documentary was not incorrect. Your interpretation of it is.
@humboldtfishing73283 жыл бұрын
Your first statement simply isn't true. Patagonia did not say that hatcheries are the reason of the salmon decline. They in fact gave a long detailed history of the major blows to our rivers, like dams and loss of habitat before explaining why hatcheries hurt our wild rivers. Some "solutions" are just too good to be true. We can't engineer wild.

I feel like more should be talked regarding the deconstruction and revitalization of rivers that are plagued with outdated dams and diversions. Like you said in the video dams degrade usable spawning and rearing habitat and that was what brought hatcheries around in the first place. Dam removal = more opportunity for naturally spawning wild fish. Instead of fighting for hatcheries fight for the deconstruction of outdated and useless dams. Also I’m not saying every dam needs to be removed just the ones that provide little or no benefit and the ones that provide 0 chance for fish to migrate past. Nothing compares to a wild fish but unfortunately until more dams are removed hatcheries are going to be a necessity

The fish raised from broodstock programs, are eggs taken from wild fish, fertilized by milt from wild fish. So genetics of the wild fish are intact. The only thing the hatchery does, is to allow the fish to live and grow to a sustainable size, without the mortality rate. Then, they stock those fish, so you can actually see a return. The key to all things good... education.

Love the film and really appreciate you guys taking the time to spread the truth about our hatcheries. BUT PLEASE, you guys missed explaining the single most important point for 99% of the population who viewed Artifishial. We MUST explain in better detail the difference between the life-cycle of a hatchery fish vs a farmed salmon. There was nothing in your film whatsoever that explains the genetic selection, natural migration, and evolutionary (survival of the fittest) so to speak life-cycle of a hatchery fish in both the river as a smolt, and ocean, and then again returning to its home river despite predation, ocean conditions, and natural swings in the climate of a watershed. It needs to be known that this nearly mirrors a wild fish's life cycle VS a FISH FARM and the lifecycle of a salmon here. SOOO CRUCIAL for those to understand who are not anglers or avid fisherman. General population does NOT know this.

The natural selection forces within a hatchery is never going to accurately mirror that within a natural environment. It will select for traits that are specifically beneficial for that hatchery environment. Long term this will ultimately then be at the detriment to the genetic fitness of the wild population, as the wild population’s genetics become diluted by wild fish through interbreeding, and as wild fish are forced to compete with far greater numbers of hatchery fish for food.

He's right about hatcheries not being the cause of fish declines but it shouldn't be a permanent solution. Selectively breeding fish will ultimately result in domesticated strains of fish which do not have the same integrity as wild fish. And there are still natural native populations but are low in number and need alot of help. The way i see it a river with a healthy wild fish population shouldn't be stocked(don't fix what ain't broken)but i do understand in current times we depend on hatcheries to support fisheries. Just saying we shouldn't just give up on wild populations and just sit back and depend solely on hatcheries

I have no interest in diving into a firestorm of emotional discussion, but I will say many emotionally driven environmental campaigns have caused a lot of damage to our land and waters via unintended consequences and meddling from groups who have no basis in science. I have seen it on the land throughout my career and it is very frustrating. Most of these groups try to condemn science today for events early in the history of development of techniques to improve habitat and hatcheries. NASA would have never reached the moon and beyond if they folded with the first launch pad accident. As a biologist I embrace the incredible value of our wild fish, as I think most everyone does. As a realist, I know habitats have been compromised and they are not all going to return. I also realize there is room to improve habitat as well as the use and function of hatcheries. I believe there is a big win-win here for everyone. I see a future with new styles of hatcheries utilizing formerly untapped water sources. This is due to the advancement of science I am working on. Time and experience on the current habitats I create are required to perfect the techniques since I don't have a NASA size research budget. I have a few adventurous clients who want to help try new ideas. I do firmly believe if we put the energy into the science instead of expensive legal arguments , we will get there faster. I see a new day for the STEP programs ( Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program) that will be more effective than just employing hatch boxes. While some people profit from selling jackets and fear, others see a brighter future. I applaud those with realistic views and desires for healthy fisheries of both wild and hatchery origins.

I watched Artifishal and agreed it was very biased against hatcheries, but now this video is supposed to be from an organization that supports hatcheries and wild fish, and seems just 100% pro hatchery fish, like the "coexist" part is just a way to hook people in. I watched wild reverence and it was very compelling. I guess at this point, I want hatcheries as far away as possible from the few rivers that can totally support wild steelhead especially. I'm 100% positive we still have wild steelhead genetics around and they should be given EVERY opportunity to thrive, but I also know we have lots of places where we can have hatcheries, even if the sole purpose is to provide fish for fishing guides, sport fisherman, native Americans, Orcas and, God-forbid, commercial fisherman. I do hate they wild steelhead have to compete for habitat with hatchery steelhead and salmon, but there's no getting around that. I'm gonna keep researching, but thank you for this

You did agreat job of pointing out the misleading information in Artifishal! We all know hatcheries are not our biggest problem for salmon and steelhead returns. Hatcheries are probably necessary in rivers that are dammed up, where the wild fish can't reach the spawning grounds, like the Cowlitz, but why do we stick them in rivers that are still free-flowing, like the Skykomish? Where is the proof that the hatcheries are working at bringing back our salmon and steelhead? You said 75% of the chinook harvested were hatchery fish. Isn't that really because it's generally not legal to retain wild chinook? We spend so much of our tax and energy dollars on hatcheries, I want to see the science that shows it's paying off.

Spot on, sir and group!! You pointed out exactly the same things = misinformation = in Artfishal that I too felt wrong. I don’t repeat each here but let me say one thing. It’s the story about stocking programs were eventually terminated on Madison and other Montana trout. I’m an outfitter/guide who fish and guide those rivers and learned the history. Upon watching Artfishal, I immediately knew that no sane angler (one doesn’t have to be a certified biologist) can mix up trout habitat and steelhead/salmon ecosystem as they have totally different lifecycles!!!! - well, “they” can (LOL emoji here). I just hope that the guide who spoke about the Madison - a very noted and respected figure around here - was just talked about the Madison, no further, and the only that line was cut and used in the film (well, they are buddies). I also appreciate that this video points out what I forgot: brown trout is not a native to Montana rivers. Now they are designated as “wild” but yes, it’s quite a hypocrite that praising the conservation of nonnative species while totally blaming the planting of native species. I mean, we all would like to see abundant wild salmon and steelhead (and I actually like their gears!) and enlightening the public majority is a good thing but misinformation like those in Artfishal is NEVER good!

The one thing we all have in common is we all want more wild fish. Hatcheries are used to supplement the runs we once had. If we want more wild fish we need habitat restoration. There are a ton of dams that are not operating fully and actually costing the taxpayers money every day they remain in place while simultaneously blocking fish passage. We need these dams out! Especially the ones one the snake river which is quite possibly the greatest salmon producing river on the west coast. The bottom line is that we need hatcheries until enough habitat restoration has taken place and wild fish have recovered. But to remove hatcheries before wild fish have recovered would most likely result in extinction.

You can never bring back the 100s of feeder streams that were filled in for logging roads. All that habitat is gone. The rivers that can recover like the Elwha should by all means be restored. The genetics were trapped above the dam for 100 years. Truly an amazing story. These rich guys are way off if they believe that is an option on the Columbia or many other rivers.

The Sacramento river basin is 90% hatchery return vs wild, because of the dams on the major tributaries like the American and feather and Yuba the Sacramento River Basin is dependent on Hatchery fish. If hatcheries were working we wouldn't be seeing these low numbers in recent years, there should be way more fish returning, The Klamath is the same story, several dams were built-in along is course so medication hatcheries were built to make up for lost habitat. And the same story goes low numbers, but on the same river the hupa and Yurok tribal fish management, are for the first time in 100 years after all the mining, logging, development going up and down the river and up creeks restoring habitat, and the wild fish population is skyrocketing, creeks that only saw a couple steelhead every year are now getting hundreds of steelhead coho and chinnok. Same goes with the eel river, a couple years ago the state came up with the eel river recovery program to restore the main river and the spawning creeks and water quality has improved, micro biological, insect life has improved and the coho runs have almost doubled in numbers, so Ya why waste money on hatchery's that don't work when the wild fish do what the hatchery does for free?

Not all hatchery programs are unsuccessful, the Oregon coast and Quinault nation have very successful hatcheries that produce very quality fish. In Oregon and Washington, many of our rivers that need hatchery mitigation have seen reduced or completely eliminated smolt plants since the 90s and it hasn’t helped populations where mitigation is necessary. It would be nice if the narrative surrounding hatcheries could shift from “hatcheries are bad” to “how can we improve hatcheries to increase wild fish populations”.

@DSRenner A hatchery loads the waters with far more fish than naturally would have hatched from a small selection of the gene pool, leaving less resources for a smaller population of fish with a larger pool of genes that spawned in the wild. No way around it. A wild population is definitely more resilient with more genetic diversity, the question is, where is the line where low population affects the rest of the ecosystem and makes it a necessary bandaid. The biggest myth in this video is that people's sense of entitlement can't change, Americans don't have to weigh 300 lbs and get 3 Amazon deliveries everyday.

In the last five years, Michigan has decreased the number of hatchery Salmon that it planted from 2-4 million, down to a mere 100,000, in the enire state. This was done on the belief that there was no longer enough forage for so many fish, due to invasive species. The runs at spawning season are now only 5-10% of what they were. Meaning, less hatchery fish does not increase natural fish. An example: my hometown river, where 6 years ago the harvest was around 10,000-12,000 fish, down to merely a 1,000-1,500, the last 2 years. The Michigan DNR, has now said they are going to raise stocking efforts, but have not said on what scale. Hatchery fish and wilds can MOST definitely co-exist !! Without hatcheries, most fishermen would forget what Salmon tastes like.

Salmon never naturally spawned in your waters they don't belong there. This discussion is about the loss of habitat in their native range and what should be done to improve it. Hatcheries are the solution for now but habitat and wild fish restoration should be a main goal

Might be a different story to stock trout where wild fish populations won’t be able to recover. But stocking salmon and steelhead in wild river,all that’s doing is diluting the wild gene. When we loose that wild gene there gone for ever.

I don’t like those hatchery steelhead mingling with the native steelhead either. I think it would be best if the hatcheries were established in the bottom 1/16 or 1/8 of the river. I believe hatchery fish rarely migrate too far above their hatchery of origin. This would hopefully keep those genes somewhat unblemished. To sweeten the deal, deem the river above the hatchery a fly fishing (no beads) only section & no fishing from the boat. I’m not trying to be a dick but here are some small corrections on your last sentence - **They’re gone forever**

The fish raised from broodstock programs, are eggs taken from wild fish, fertilized by milt from wild fish. The genetics of the wild are intact. The only thing the hatchery does, is to allow the fish to live and grow to a sustainable size, without the natural mortality rate. Then stock those fish, so you can actually see a return. The key to all things good... education. Read up on hatcheries.

@@justapro797 If you produce fish in a hatchery, it doesn’t matter if it’s from brood stock or not. They do not have fight or flight instincts. They live a enclosure that makes them susceptible to disease and parasites. They haven’t acclimated to their natal waters. They haven’t been sustaining themselves on organisms found in the river ecosystem. When they’re release, they enter the river with thousands of other fry and travel towards the ocean like a cloud eating everything in sight, straining the natural balance of life. These hatchery fish are vastly inferior to wild fish and will never produce the fishery of your dreams. Salmon and Steelhead are doomed. We can’t change the climate (international), we have a very small voice in dam politics, hatcheries have never worked, habitat restoration and human behavior are the only levers that can impact change. If you want to save these fish, fishing practices need to change. Otherwise, it’s reasonable to conclude that wild salmon and steelhead will not be around in another 25 years.
@andrewwood40133 жыл бұрын
Even if we do everything right, it’s possible that international fishing fleets and climate change will deal the final blow. If you want to make a difference, change your behavior and support wild fish. Write your congressmen, donate to conservation and restoration efforts, and lessen your impact on salmon and steelhead. Simple.

Fish farm fish are trapped in a closer container or net pens. Where as hatcheries fish migrate out to the oceans and migrate back to their spawning grounds. The in - closed fish are fed with pellets that have chemicals, which helps Fish grow faster and not good for humans to consume. Complete opposite with the migrating fish eat what's in the entire oceans.

I have such mixed emotions from both films. I’ve seen success in hatchery programs and I’ve seen those that scrape by, lasting on the body of water they’re blessed with. I think hatcheries need to do a better job diverting inlet water into multiple locations. Concentration that currently happens as popular hatcheries is a sure lack of diversity in the plant.
@lucasholmgrenmusic Жыл бұрын
The problem is that there is massive regulations that prevent hatcheries from doing more diverse plants. It would be wonderful to plant fry in spawning creeks that need supplementation, then they could imprint on those creeks and build up the population. But its not allowed.

There is misinformation and misdirection in both of these videos. The idea that hatcheries are wholesome and pure and have had no impact on wild populations is in itself insincere not supported by years of research on documented decreased in reproductivity and resilience in hatchery fish and when cross breed with wild populations have caused the decline of wild fish in many river systems in the Northwest. On the other hand hatchery practices have evolved with more sophisticated use of wild brood stock and carefully not breeding returning hatchery fish has helped mitigate some of these concerns but not completely. It is true some rivers have been altered by dams and development to have destroyed miles of spawning habitat and now are dependent on hatcheries. There are also free flowing rivers mostly still intact with viable wild populations that need our support to renew and protect. Theses rivers need their natural ability to support abundant wild populations of anadromous fish protected. Hatcheries are not the solution here just more human interference. There are two sides to each of the black and white perspectives of both of these videos.
Finally someone willing to tell the truth. We can't get rid of the cause, but we can mitigate the result

This is wrong and so is the message that artifishal was trying to portray. Rivers can only hold so much biomass and many factors can affect that bio mass. Water quality, dams, runoff, even temps can all affect biomass. What artifishal is trying to say is if we remove the invasive fish then the native natural reproducing fish can thrive with no competition, that’s if no other factors come in to play. Hatchery fish do not help rivers IF stocked with the wrong fish. Most fish bring disease and some bad genetics if they reproduce with native fish. Each river is unique with its own eco system and we can’t just stick any fish into that water. It’s just a waste of money. Colorado is a perfect example, with most of the rivers not meant to sustain high biomass of trout, we do however, heavily stock the rivers with trout in order to keep the park and rec game alive. The question is, does the cost outweigh the profit.

Salmon can still reproduce naturally in most rivers. The lack of habitat cannot support these fish after hatching, hatchery or not. Remember that salmon spend the first year or more of their life in the river, if it’s a navigational canal the survival rate will be low no matter where they come from. Hatcheries are a temporary buffer for rivers in bad shape but end goal should be a sustainable run that spawns naturally. The indisputable fact is that nature will vastly outperform hatcheries given the proper conditions. I’m not against hatcheries, just want everyone to look at the bigger picture of what’s best for the species.
@MRotchburns4203 жыл бұрын
Nature has been changed on most rivers, the proper conditions exist only in a very few places that are protected from human development. I think everyone involved with this video would agree with your end goal, but how do you do that with all the human impacts on most rivers in the PNW?

Yep, drive any river in the I-5 corridor and tell me you have the influence to convince those homeowners to let the river run wild through their freshly mowed lawn. They will laugh at you and say they own that river-front property. We have a flood control problem and an agricultural problem. Let the river flood when it wants, and move farming down to the mouths of rivers where the water is more disposable..... neither of those two changes will happen therefore wild fish will never return to their original numbers.

Science shows "that premise" is right, (not wrong). The evidence clearly shows in multiple examples that streams and rivers that are left to the wild salmon to procreate, is vastly better than introducing "farm raised" salmon to satisfy the commercial and recreational fisherman. Although this is about the loss of wild salmon vs hatchery salmon, it's also about the Orca population... fascinating that the Orca pod(s) off Spain are attacking boats lately. One has to wonder about the correlation between the oceans over-fishing, warming, etc and the Orca's anger (or at least it seems that way) Incredible to think that Elon Musk is on record saying : "the world needs more humans" But, hey, I've been a fisherman, diver, surfer and ocean lover all my life... (72) and lo and behold, I lived in Ventura; (Patagonia headquarters), so I guess I'm biased ?

Why don’t they put hatcheries for salmon and steelhead in as many rivers as possible. Release hundreds of millions of smolt. Just an insane amount each year. Build a processing plant tied into the hatcheries, so instead of trawling for salmon commercial wise you can use the tens of thousands of salmon and steelhead from the processing plant to distribute across the country. So it’s always fresh, as natural of salmon as possible. I can see the hatcheries just pay for itself and let alone the fisherman who want to fish have a surplus amount to go and get some.
