  • Artifishal is a film about people, rivers, and the fight for the future of wild fish and the environment that supports them. It explores wild salmon’s slide toward extinction, threats posed by fish hatcheries and fish farms, and our continued loss of faith in nature.
    Thanks for watching our film, and for your comments -- our primary goal with the film was to shine a spotlight on these issues, to spark dialogue and encourage changes in the way we think about river and fish conservation and fishery management. The common ground we all seem to share is a love of rivers and an interest in seeing wild fish return in greater abundance. Patagonia has been working to protect wild rivers and wild fish for over 40 years. We were founded by an avid fly fisherman - and we’re proud of all our connections to the fish world, which range from our fly fishing and salmon product lines, to the over $20 million in grants we’ve given to local groups working on these issues in communities around the world.
    To that end, whatever your point of view, we hope you visit Patagonia Action Works, to learn more about and support groups working to protect wild rivers and wild fish - www.patagonia.com/actionworks...
    Further, this is the 3rd film we’ve made about these issues. First was Damnation, which highlights the destructive effect of obsolete dams on healthy river ecosystems and habitat; and then, Blue Heart of Europe, which shares the shocking story of a tsunami of dam development in the Balkans region of Eastern Europe, and calls for a stop to the construction of 3,000 new hydropower dams and diversions. We couldn’t agree more that habitat destruction, dam building, mismanaged harvest, and pollution of our waterways are also incredibly important issues - check out these films to get a sense for some of our advocacy across the issues.

    As a salmon fishery biologist for more than 35 years in the Pacific Northwest I have to agree with most of the information provided in Artifishal, however, Patagonia missed the mark when they didn't call for moratoriums on harvest along with hatcheries. Wild stocks cannot survive our current technological driven harvest rates and practices. The hatcheries exist to support harvest rates and practices. If you eliminate hatcheries you have to reduce or end harvest.
    As an interesting side note, the sponsor, Patagonia, started selling food a few years ago, including "wild" sockeye salmon. Patagonia charges $37.33/lb for wild sockeye salmon or around $373 per fish. My local Albertsons grocery store sells Alaska sockeye for $12.00/lb. I wonder what Patagonia's motivation is?

      Unfortunately all conservation groups, activists, governments & spokes people are failing to mention the human population has grown beyond its natural environment - 700 percent increase in 150 years as well as an industrial opulent (western) mentality. Much of our problems and our solution comes from our numbers.

    • @steveh1844

      Wild salmon should be expensive - if you are not local and cannot fish yourself, they should be regarded as a luxury item & really if you cannot afford it don’t by it. We are eating better than any emperors, rulers, kings and queens of history. But yes, if Patagonia was so concerned with wild salmon stocks, don’t sell it????!

    • @patagonia
      @patagonia  4 роки тому +210

      Thank you for bringing up the important topic of better managing harvest - we agree that in many fisheries, wild stocks can’t possibly keep up with current harvest rates and practices. In a list of rules of thumb around buying and eating salmon located here, www.patagonia.com/artifishal.html , we share this advice: “Don’t buy Pacific salmon from open-ocean, mixed-stock fisheries. A majority of these fish are often of hatchery origin, and more importantly, open-ocean harvest cannot discriminate between abundant and endangered stocks of fish.” We do believe that there are some sustainable fisheries out there, such as Bristol Bay sockeye salmon and reef-net-caught pink salmon from Lummi Island, Washington. And we are proud of the work we’re doing to source wild sockeye and pink salmon from truly sustainable sources. Our motivation, with all of our work, is simply this: we want to help save wild fish and wild rivers, and part of that is shifting the paradigm around how fish are harvested. We believe that, as a business, making it work on the ground, we can approach this effort in a concrete, solutions-oriented fashion.

    Awesome documentary. When I was a kid, there was salmon all the way up to Rio Linda Creek , on the outskirts of Sacramento, that were so big, they had to be 20 lbs. By the time I was in highschool, most of the fish were gone. Just a few little trout. Now there's none. All the streams, creeks, and rivers had fish until dams came along. Dams were only created to starve out Indigenous People. They never needed to block up whole rivers. Especially not for power. The sand, gravel and wildlife can no longer reach the oceans to spawn or create and maintain beaches. We are losing up to 9 Meters of beach a year around the world to erosion because of dams.

    Wild Steelhead declines on the Skykomish are largely due to the fact that the Snohomish estuary has been diked and developed to the point that 85% of historical wetland is now gone. This has huge impacts on Chinook and Steelhead that spend up to a year in the estuary. I don't disagree that hatchery fish add to the complications but the hatchery alone is not responsible for the declines. Development is.

Hopefully we can redirect money towards proper habitat management in the future so hatcheries can be phased out and we can give wild fish a fighting chance

      Thanks for noting that there are other human activities that negatively impact wild fish - we have spent decades fighting dams and development along rivers, check out our film Damnation for a taste of our advocacy on this issue. And we’ve given over $20 million in grants to over 3,000 different groups working on these issues on a local level. We’re concerned about hydropower dams, harvest, hatcheries and habitat - or, as the film notes, the “4 H’s.” With Artifishal, we did want to focus in on hatcheries and open-water net pen fish farming, as they simply haven’t received as much of the spotlight - and, we are deeply concerned about the ongoing rhetoric that these practices are solutions to our problems, particularly when you look at the science. Check out this link for a review of some of the scientific papers that backed up our concerns as we made the film: nativefishsociety.org/science/hatcheries

The chemicals used, the pollution caused and the affects on the ecosystem. I started to question all this, and then I started to look at their feed. farmed fish need allot of protein which all comes from other fish caught in the sea in huge quantities. Many countries specifically head out to sea to catch fish destined only to be used to be processed in too pellets, to feed fish. Killing fish to feed fish for profit and destroy the environment.

There have been declines of both wild and hatchery fish. The fact is the wild fish are doomed due to their prime spawning areas east of the Willamette River are not reachable. So how are the wild fish going to do anything. It is impossible. Each dam requires a unique system and billions of dollars to get fish above and some back down and smolts down river. I doubt we will see that in our life time. I want both wild and hatchery fish to be abundant.

This, and other Patagonia films, are expensive to produce. The filming and editing is top notch, whether short or full length. And I find the investment in producing a film and releasing it, for free, throughout social media, is maybe the single most effective way to get the message out to the broader public. This method scales, is free to distribute, available any time and any place, and is shareable. Thank you Patagonia for supporting the documentary film makers and getting this message out.

    I have watched this entire video and am grateful for its production. I have admired the clean river systems shown on TV from Australia of your beautiful country. We in Australia also have small rivers that are not polluted in our mountains we call the high country which I got to fish in my youth about 1970 onwards.
    The people of China need to look at what your people are doing to protect your future. The Chinese rivers have turned into the worlds largest sewerage systems because of the thousands of dams, the high powered politicians greed to make money from their rivers have in fact turned into disasters of filth. Their rivers can no longer flush the human excrement and other pollutants that stagnate the water.
    Keep up your good work from Australia.

      People don't realize how compatible hatchery fish are with wild fish and the environment once you've eliminated bad hatchery practices. There's so many studies that were conducted improperly that drew the conclusion that hatchery fish were inferior on the genetic level and letting them breed with wild fish would reduce wild fish fitness and what we've come to know today is that hatchery management, not hatchery fish genetics lead to poor integration with wild fish and natural spawning.

    We attended a meeting with a number of groups which also had wild fish groups. One point made that was for sure agreeable on all sides is "Dams are not regulated for healthy fish runs". The idea was to combine groups to go after Army Corps to force them to regulate so we have healthy runs of salmon and Steelhead. Especially the Spring and Summer returns that require cool water till in the fall.
    We use to fish the South Santiam River every year starting in June. Later summer months the flow would be so low that fish were piled in holes. Plus the temp of the water was too warm. That is all due to poor regulating of dams. I can remember one year they released a huge amount of water from all the dams. Then not enough rain to fill the lakes up again. That summer was really bad for any salmon and Steelhead. Marinas on Detroit Lake had their docks laying on dry ground. A lot of fish had to of died that year because of what was done.
    Hatchery fish are not what is causing the drop in the wild fish population. A lot of false theories being used and some based on old hatchery practices that are not used anymore. It is time to realize Hatchery and Wild do Coexist.

    Beautifully and perfectly filmed; it makes me sick inside to watch. Imagine if we treated people the same way we treat the animals that share this planet with us. The irony here is that historically, we already have. The way we treat the wild spaces and creatures around us is the same way we start to treat the "least of us". It is unsustainable in every sense and on every level.
    The fisherman at about the 30 mark isn't wrong; we way overfish the salmon. The habitat destruction only adds to this. Without the fisheries, there wouldn't be salmon on the shelves in the grocery store. - Maybe having less on the shelves is what we need to have more back in the ocean, but that boils it all down to dollars; those profiting off the salmon aren't going to go for this. In the bigger picture, big money makes most of the rules because they have sway.
    We need to change the way we think. The way we behave. The girl at the 28 mark exemplifies this perfectly. She doesn't have an ulterior motive. It is what it is and money isn't biasing her view. - I get we need to feed people, but causing mass extinctions only leads to one outcome; extinction for us all. Period.

    Great film guys. Just found this 15/04/2021. The hardest thing for us humans to get is to let nature be, leave her alone - rewild. Nature is not here to do our bidding. I'm a fly fisherman in the UK but it gets harder to justify catching a stocked brown trout because the native browns are now considered too small for 'sport' fishers egos who spend big $ just to catch a famous chalk stream brownie. The famously large English chalk stream brownies (plus sea trout and salmon) evolved and grew large over long periods of time, but of course we fished those guys out. So to keep the fantasy going and to pay for the management costs and justify the fees they started stocking. Some even put in rainbows FFS. They are buying into a nostalgic fantasy/con that ultimately is destroying and changing the native fish and ecology. A then theres the water quality issues, the collapse in native eel numbers, the extinction of our sturgeon and invasive crayfish etc. In the UK it wasn't so much dam building but canalization at the beginning of the industrial revolution that messed up so many rivers. But nostalgically Brits love canals and boating so there's no appetite to break them for river restoration even though they became obsolete 100 years ago. The need to tame nature drives management but there's a growing rewilding movement beginning with projects like several beaver re-introductions that went extinct some 400yrs ago. If Patagonia could come to the UK and Ireland and make a film to shine a light on the messed up situation that would be great.

Funny enough, he actually meets up with the Founder of Patagonia, Yvon CHouinard, who is madly obsessed with this problem. Fish farming has caused so much problems already, Kelp and 3d underwater farming could solve this ongoing problem, only problem being Kelp is not that widely accepted in society. I also highly recommend the book "Eat like a fish", certainly not a page-turner at some parts, but still very informative.

    Please Provide an example in oregon or Washington where removing hatchery production has been successful. The nisqually river, puyallup river used to have amazing runs of hatchery steelhead. wild fish conservation groups removed hatchery steelhead production on these rivers. Today wild and hatchery steelhead are extinct in both rivers

      You'll be surprised to know that because of the Puyallup tribe, and CCA volunteers, steelhead are making a rebound. It's just not common knowledge. The last several years, volunteers have been trucking carcasses into the upper basin from the state and tribal hatcheries. The nutrient enhancement has helped bring larger numbers of spawning steelhead and salmon that the general public aren't aware of. Just last year, the Puyallup had the largest number of spawning steelhead it's had in many years. No one knows about it because it's closed. The rivers need more fish period. And the rivers need the nutrient enhancement rather than the selling of the carcasses used as pet food.

      Humankind has constantly ignored God and His message for too long. We act in the place of God who is the creator of nature and the universe. Our sheer arrogance and total disregard for God and His son Jesus Christ have brought all these miseries and miscalculations. Science with all its 'benefits' and ramifications cannot and will never replace God's message of salvation to humankind through His only begotten son Jesus Christ.
      Therefore my friend if you desire to have eternal life after your short stay on earth then you must settle the sin factor through believing the atonement that Jesus Christ made on the cross of Calvary. All humankind is born as sinners and no sinner will inherit God's kingdom.
      Please repent from your sins and give your life to Jesus Christ so that you can have the righteousness of God which is only in Jesus.

    I kept looking at the title of this movie and I could not figure out the spelling of 'Artificial'. Once I clicked on it and read the description it finally made some sense. Very clever play on the word.

    There are PLENTY of rivers that are not dammed that have just as bad returns of Salmon/Steelhead. There are also rivers like the Fraser river where the entire lower portion is diked off, completely ruining the wetlands the juvenile fish used to flourish in. Yet the runs still fluctuate, and on some years are even very large returns of Salmon. To me this points to ocean survival being the main factor at play here. There are some studies out of the University of British Columbia that indicate that from 30-50%+ of juvenile salmon are eaten by seals alone, not to mention all the other animals that predate on juvenile salmon. Then there are the massive fluctuation on ocean conditions from year to year. At sea the salmons food sources fluctuate, the temperatures fluctuate, diseases, pollution, overfishing, etc. There are plenty of rivers that are not dammed and have a natural estuary yet the runs are struggling. We keep polluting the ocean and expect things to change but they just keep getting worse despite our efforts on land.
    The entire planet needs to change its ways of destroying the earth for short term gain if things are ever to change, and some argue that it is already too late for that. The average person can only do so much when mega corporations and the rich who control the world are making these large scale ecological decisions to profit off the ocean while polluting and destroying it.

    We need a kids video a hour long like “ finding Nemo” that tells the story in a happy way how wild fish 🐠 are happy fish hatchery fish are sad 😔 and dieting and are the zombie fish they really are the the humans are feeding and breading. Make it a happy video where paradise is found when there is no more dams and every fish is wild caught. I know if done right this will make good money but will change the view on how we think. This video I just watched opened my eyes 👀 because I really didn’t know how had the hatchery were for the fish. If you see this comment like it so it go to the top and the video gets made. ❤️ u keep up the good work.

      @@LATFA. it s an artificial tank structure to hatch fish and feed them and release them back into the rivers lakes streams .It keep the small fish for being eaten by predators and staff feed them once they reach a certain size they are trucked back to streams rivers and lakes .

    incredible! Your campaign ideas are amazing! You are really protecting our mother nature. How I wish; I could be one like you as conservationist people. You know here in our town, we have also the problem regarding our natural resources had been damage, especially in the river aspects too! Private Electric companies installing damps for their hydro turbine for electricity business and this made to damage our river crabs habitat and their life cycles. Every year, these river crabs are fertilizing their eggs in the coastal areas or the estuary they are inverted nature with your salmon fish where mature salmons go upstream for fertilizing their eggs while our river crabs fertilizing their eggs downstream in the estuary then their young's return back to their territories and undertake heavy river currents and their predators' nearby before reaching its' habitat. Now how these young crabs can be able to climb those treacly high damp structures and their territories were being damaged as well? The river crab season is in the month of November had completely gone at this time. I hope that someday somehow there will be scientists/conservationists like your group who will study the nature of invert characteristics with your salmon fish compared with our river crabs here in the Philippines. Thank you for reading.
