"Native" steelhead? Steelhead are native. Call them wild fish if you want to differentiate between hatchery fish and non-hatchery fish.
It reminds me of "harvesting" game animals. Bull$*it. You harvest beets, you harvest soy beans. You kill animals. Sorry. I eat animals, and I own it. I have no problem with hunting for food. I see it as a good thing, actually. But come on... all the pussy-footing around reality knocks me for a loop.

I for one would be very surprised if there was a fingernails difference between them. Obviously they behave differently and show differing levels of fitness for their environment, I'm not attempting to dispute that idea.
I have my own suspicion that something very similar is going on with homo sapiens, but that might be beyond the scope of this conversation.
Is anyone aware of recent genetic comparative analysis of hatchery vs. non-hatchery steelhead or salmon? I for one would be very surprised if there was a fingernails difference between them.
