註釋"The salmon hatchery program in Alaska was initiated in the 1970s to rehabilitate depleted salmon fisheries. Learning from problems encountered with the robust hatchery programs in place in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska's program was envisioned and proactively designed to protect wild salmon stocks. Here we build upon a previous review of the precautionary plans, permits, and policies that have guided salmon enhancement in Alaska in a manner that protects wild stocks. These consist of development of rigorous permitting processes that includes genetics, pathology, and fishery management reviews; policies that require hatcheries to be located away from significant wild stocks; use of local brood sources; laws that give priority to wild stocks in fisheries; provisions for marking of hatchery fish; and as necessary, requirements for special studies on hatchery/wild stock interactions. Now that statewide annual production has largely stabilized, and amid rising concerns for effects on wild salmon populations, a review of the implementation of Alaska's precautionary approach is both timely and warranted. In this paper we explore procedures, practices, fishery management, and stock assessment relevant to the hatchery program for consistency with State of Alaska policies using two case studies--Southeast Alaska Chinook salmon and Prince William Sound pink salmon."--
