Pollsters say a new Bush administration policy to count hatchery-raised salmon as wild is not yet a concern among voters in the Pacific Northwest.

About two dozen species of salmon are currently considered endangered or threatened. The fish are located in rivers where tribes have treaty fishing rights.
