More imperiled Snake River sockeye salmon returned to central Idaho this year than in nearly a decade. But biologists are disappointed few of them came from fish that spawned naturally in the wild. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game said Wednesday that 736 adult sockeye salmon completed the 900-mile trip from the Pacific Ocean to the high-elevation Stanley Basin. But only 46 came from adult fish that spawned naturally in a key lake. The population is bolstered with a complex hatchery program that tracks the genetics of individual fish with the goal of one day getting a naturally reproducing, self-sustaining sockeye salmon population in Idaho.
