65 fish for a family.  You'd think they were native  ::)

Its a sustenance fishery and the run can support it so why not...as long as the fish doesn't go to waste.

Aren't they intercepting ocean socks heading back to BC?

Not if they're caught in Alaskan rivers.

When you read this it makes you think whether it really makes sense the way hatcheries do business.
They invest our money (earned, taxed and spent in BC) into raising fish and letting them go, only to be caught by someone else in Alaska and other places.
They have a lovely fishery.

That would be my primary concern.

"New season is upon us honey, time to toss out the old fish from the freezer and get this year's" :(

Works both ways. Canadian fishermen catch American hatchery raised salmon from Washington and Oregon.
