ADVICE
Alaska pollock fisheries are well managed by a system of Total Allowable Catches and quotas. Although by-catch is problematic in pelagic mid-water trawl fisheries, measures are in place to reduce impacts of the fishery on protected species. In 2005, the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands pollock fishery became the 11th fishery in the world to be certified to the MSC Standard. The Gulf of Alaska pollock fishery was also certified by the MSC as a responsible fishery in 2005. Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is associated with Russian Far East pollock fisheries. Eat Alaskan pollock from MSC certified fisheries only.
