According to Chilean legislation, a salmonid concession holder must choose between two mutually exclusive stocking density systems: Stocking Reduction Percentage (SRP) or Stocking by Density. This study identifies the main determinants in the choice of stocking system and estimates their marginal effects. The results suggest that if the previously stocked species is Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), the probability of stocking by SRP increases by 36.6%.
