Hatcheries and stocking programs serve a variety of objectives, including the conservation of salmon populations. Much attention has been given to the importance of genetic integrity and adaptive capacity of salmon stocks, particularly as they interact with hatchery‐origin fish. Literature on hatchery and stocking programs has increasingly focused on genetic indicators of quality and success, with genetically ‘wild’ salmon valued over hatchery‐influenced salmon. However, conservation in the Anthropocene is challenging paradigms of wildness and definitions of conservation success. For salmon populations that exist on the ragged edge of climate change where threats are unlikely to be remediated to the status of ecologies past, definitions of ‘wild’ and the role of conservation hatcheries and stocking becomes convoluted. If definitions of ‘wild’ or ‘natural’ salmon depend on salmon archetypes situated in historic ecologies, then what do salmon futures look like? In that context, we argue to expand from primarily genetic criteria for conservation stocking to additional criteria cognizant of hybrid ecosystems and future human‐salmon relationships. We draw on the concept of adaptive epistemologies within the context of conservation‐oriented hatchery and stocking programs to critically reflect on knowledge paradigms and values that underlie salmon conservation stocking efforts and the changing ecosystems in which they are situated. We critique ‘wild’ discourses rooted in western thought and make suggestions toward a reimagining of salmon conservation‐via‐hatchery in the Anthropocene that allows for expansive human‐salmon futures. Critically, we conclude with warnings against using the arguments in this paper as social permission to use hatcheries as a conservation panacea.

关于孵化场和放养计划在鲑鱼保护和适应非野生未来方面的作用的评论


孵化场和放养计划服务于多种目标，包括保护鲑鱼种群。人们对鲑鱼种群遗传完整性和适应能力的重要性给予了很多关注，特别是当它们与孵化场鱼类相互作用时。有关孵化场和放养计划的文献越来越关注质量和成功的遗传指标，遗传“野生”鲑鱼的价值高于受孵化场影响的鲑鱼。然而，人类世的保护正在挑战荒野的范式和保护成功的定义。对于生活在气候变化边缘的鲑鱼种群来说，它们对过去生态状况的威胁不太可能得到补救，“野生”的定义以及保护孵化场和放养的作用变得令人费解。如果“野生”或“天然”鲑鱼的定义取决于历史生态中的鲑鱼原型，那么鲑鱼的未来会是什么样子？在这种情况下，我们主张从保护性放养的主要遗传标准扩展到认识到混合生态系统和未来人类与鲑鱼关系的附加标准。我们在以保护为导向的孵化场和放养计划的背景下利用适应性认识论的概念，批判性地反思三文鱼保护放养工作及其所在生态系统不断变化的知识范式和价值观。我们批评根植于西方思想的“野生”话语，并提出重新构想人类世通过孵化场保护鲑鱼的建议，以实现人类与鲑鱼的广阔未来。至关重要的是，我们最后警告不要将本文中的论点用作社会许可使用孵化场作为保护灵丹妙药。
