Salmon is a public good, which means that people can profit from catching, killing, and selling salmon for consumption. Goldfish on the other hand are a private goods. They are bred and sold, which only contributes to goldfish population growth.

How do you think stocked salmon disrupt natural wild populations?
Stocked salmon disrupt natural wild populations because it gets the individual species of a community out of sync. The larger fish and animals that eat the salmon will not be able to keep up with the rapid increase in population and progeny of the stocked salmon. In addition, the animals that salmon prey on (small aquatic species such as plankton) may all be consumed and disappear from the community altogether.
