Redditors often don't open articles, so I'm going to post a snippet;
However, overall Seaspiracy does more harm than good. It takes the very serious issue of the devastating impact of industrial fisheries on life in the ocean and then undermines it with an avalanche of falsehoods. It also employs questionable interviewing techniques, uses anti-Asian tropes, and blames the ocean conservation community, i.e., the very NGOs trying to fix things, rather than the industrial companies actually causing the problem.
Most importantly, it twists the narrative about ocean destruction to support the idea that we — the Netflix subscribers of the world — can save ocean biodiversity by turning vegan. In doing so, Seaspiracy undermines its tremendous potential value: to persuade people to work together, and push for change in policy and rules that will rein in an industry which often breaks the law with impunity
Ok, but the people in the article you’re referencing are representing organizations the filmmaker is essentially calling fraudulent. I think who is questioning his credibility is pretty relevant, and from the article you cited, it’s the same organizations that he’s accusing of being highly misleading.

Do some research on your own. Many of the researchers they mention have come out and said they
Either cut footage to make things more dramatic, changed facts to fit the narrative, or just plain or lied about what they said. The documentary is bunk.
Yes they do, but it's not often they the scientists and researchers that assist inn the site come out and say that their connects, papers, etc were misused and misquoted.
Please don‘t forget that there is a billion dollar industry that does not like this documentary, and large parts of this industry are basically criminal. IIRC the spanish mafia controls a large part of the european fish supply. There have been voices before that tell the same story like this documentary, they were just less public.
