Salmon is the giver of life

and what provides our people to sustain life.

And if it weren't for the salmon

then we wouldn't be here.

We are called the people of the salmon for a reason

because that's what we're about.

I tell my kids this is a dying industry.

It's not gonna be for them.

When I was growing up

It was abundant

an abundance of salmon in my young 'un days.

Now it's a struggle.

The biggest issue we've run into

has been the warm summers

and we've had issues with that

especially at our facility.

Salmon don't like warm water

they're a cold water fish

so once we start getting up past sixty-five

they're still okay

but we start running into disease issues

going past sixty-five into the seventies

the stress jumps, dissolved oxygen levels in the river

and then our ponds will get low

and we run into issues with that.

It's been so warm

that water is not good for adult fish.

And so what you saw

was the adult mortality

that we're experiencing.

But if you go to all the other

hatcheries in the state

they're in the same boat as we are.

Because it's just warm.

The water is warm.

Everything works together in the big picture.

you lose salmon

you lose not just salmon

but it's all domino effect.

But you've got to figure out

where the start of that is.

Why are we losing the salmon?

And we've got to figure out and fix

those issues and then in turn

that will help everything else.

How does the economy affect "The Price Is Right"? - Duration: 1:51.

My name is Mike Richards.

I'm the executive producer of "The Price Is Right"

and of "Let's Make a Deal."

I've been in TV for 20 years now.

I've hosted a bunch of shows.

I hosted a show called "Beauty and the Geek"

that was the most famous one.

My job is as fun as you would think it is.

It is about making sure everything gets done on time

and then ultimately on TV.

We have about 130 to 150 people working on the show.

So there's crew who work incredibly hard.

They're moving the sets in and out, the cars, the games.

We have producers up there that are making sure

that everything looks great and that everything makes sense

and that all of the prices are correct.

You have to understand how things are going to work,

what the probability of things are

because you don't want a show with all losses.

So we're playing against that a lot.

We want to make sure that people win, but if everybody wins,

then it's not a game show, it's a giveaway.

What we have noticed is that when the economy is roaring,

people are here and having fun

and they're here for the experience.

When the economy is struggling,

I think people grab on to us more.

In 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, all of those tough years,

we had a lot of people in the audience coming,

we had a lot of people watching at home,

so for sure our show kind of rides

those waves of the economy.

I think what makes a great game show

is something that has great play-along.

We do 190 episodes a year

and making every single one important,

so whether it's just winning a toaster or a car or $100,000,

we've made everyone's day a little better.

We're not changing the world,

but we're making it a little bit better,

and so I think the best part is we change people's lives.
