Pollock "B" season opened Sunday with a total quota of 731,804 metric tons, which is about one per cent higher than last year, which was 650,095 tonnes.
"It's a very small difference, so I don't know that it necessarily means there's a big upward trend," she said. "But at least, it indicates that there's a healthy stock," she added.
Milani said pollock biomass has been up in recent years, helping the species to maintain its status as the cornerstone commercial fishery in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands.
Last year, pollock accounted for the bulk of Dutch Harbor’s seafood landings, worth USD 198 million in total.
This "B" season captures, which close on November 1 by regulation, are used for fillets and surimi, as opposed to the "A" season's focus on pollock roe. editorial@seafood.media www.seafood.media
