Had a quick search and saw two articles relating to toxic algal blooms killing salmon. One was killing adult salmon in south America on a largish scale but the article wasn't clear if it was referring to farmed or wild salmon.

The second article was referring to BC specifically and it noted the juveniles where getting effected.

Edit
Things look grim for salmon in global warming ends, but if they are a desired part of the setting then they could be justified as by the increased rainfall providing "avenues" of cooler water that they exploit.

Edit the second
If salmon where relatively healthy but limited to a few locations (those with a high percentage of forest cover in their catchment)
Then you have locations that can be farmed (less trees and locations that can't be farmed. This may play into the idea of different groups having different ecological priorities. I could also foster trade, a good reason for optimistic technology.
