The film "explores the ecological ripple effects of salmon hatcheries and asks Alaskans to engage in hard conversations about the future of our changing oceans," according to an online promo.
The hatchery industry already is firing back. Here's a statement from Salmon Hatcheries for Alaska.

SalmonState's next campaign.
It is delusional to think pumping billions of fry into the system doesn't have an impact.

Hell ya it has a impact it creates billions of lbs of healthy protein for the world's people to eat. Find me a protein source that doesn't have a impact.
All those billions of fry feed the whale population so there is that for a impact
Is that you Tim? Has salmon state gone too far this time?
Why would anybody raise pink salmon? My cat won't even eat it, he likes canned sockeye best. Now we have another non-profit, Salmon Hatcheries for Alaska that think they make profit. Pinks were $0.45 a lb, ex vessel in the 1970's. With a cumulative inflation rate of about 436%, that $2.40 a lb., ex-vessel today. Taxing yourself into pink salmon with a non-profit hatchery system isn't like finding that First 1953 Corvette ever hatched with VIN-001, that people have been looking for since 1969, that was just found in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Raising pink salmon is like looking for the First 1980 Yugo, that nobody wants drive, eat, or park in their driveway.
You need a new cat.
