Big bump for pollock

The Eastern Bering Sea pollock fishery is enormous — and it's expected to be even more so next year.

On Sunday, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council set a total allowable catch of 1.3 million metric tons, a 17 percent jump from this year's TAC.

Here's the council motion showing TACs for all Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands groundfish.

Council TACs are recommendations subject to U.S. Commerce Department approval.
