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.
