The Gulkana hatchery belonged to the State. The State built it and operated it for years and then gave it to the current owners. Talk to the Yukon river fishermen and they will complain about hatchery fish out competing natural fish in the ocean. The stocks do mix. And in the process of targeting the abundant hatchery fish the limited Yukon fish get caught also. The pink hatcheries were sighted years ago for wanton waist for simply roe stripping fish and then dumping them. Now they have to try and give them away and apply for a permit they dump the fish carcasses by the barge load back to the ocean. The dump zones were so toxic nothing could live there. Oh well they made money.  .
