Alaska commercial fishing news and notes

The big fish keep on getting bigger.
Ironic really….
I guess all that bycatch is somehow OK then?
The big trawler companies have become so dominant it seems that the smaller fishing sectors have no chance. The trawler's lobby apparatus has been able to deflect blame and delay any consequential action to great effect. The newest example, cod pot crab bycatch issue seems to be the center of attention. Any issue addressing low stock taken up by NPFMC besides trawl bycatch (including unaccounted bycatch) or overfishing by the direct fisheries is a ploy.
Gee, I wonder why bycatch reduction never goes anywhere at the NPFMC?
