Would these hatchery fish follow wild fish up streams and spawn with wild fish?

well from my experience they do go up the rivers .. these are mutants atlantic salmon NOT from our coast.. they dont grow huge or one would have heard of that before now .. farm freak fish have been escaping pens here for yrs and no one ever says they have caught monsters... these fish are destroying wild salmon with there diseases and antibiotic byproducts and the night mare of sea lice ... farm fish has NEVER worked in any country and always causes problems .. let the dang norweigens have them back .. another big business raping ole ma nature ...

These were not Atlantic salmon they were in fact chinook. Closed pens are a great solution to the lice and spread of disease, if they could just keep the fish in there.

I am to buds, Im hoping this way is a better solution of doing it but if I had my way it would be in tanks on land. I've hooked salmon passing through a fishfarm land mine bay and it was covered I mean covered in sea lice. I don't think it would have survived its journey to the river.
