May 2, 2017 at 13:42 comment added Zach Teitler Shmuel Friedland received a salmon (or half a salmon?) for a set-theoretic version of the conjecture, ie., showing that the conjectured generators do generate the ideal up to radical. homepages.math.uic.edu/~friedlan/IMGP2990.JPG Bates--Oeding got the same or similar result after Friedland. I don't think they got a salmon. I believe the original conjecture is still open (showing that the conjectured generators in fact generate the ideal, not just up to radical).
Mar 2, 2015 at 23:24 comment added LSpice I'm not entirely sure of the details, but I believe that Oeding was awarded a salmon for a partial solution: auburn.edu/~lao0004/Salmon_Talk_SIAM_ag.pdf . I'm not sure if further progress will be rewarded with further fish. :-)

Jul 27, 2012 at 1:02 comment added David E Speyer Yes, the conjecture is for generic $\lambda_i$. I can't seem to find an original print source for it, but you can find it restated as Conjecture 1.2 in arxiv.org/abs/math.AG/0411414
Jul 26, 2012 at 21:19 comment added Abhinav Kumar Is there some genericity condition on the $\lambda_i$ in the first conjecture? For instance if $\lambda_1 = 1$ then all the $r_k$ are zero, and that's obviously not enough information to reconstruct $f$?
