Dutch Harbor tops seafood landings once again


Monday, July 16 2007
Unalaska, AK – The National Marine Fisheries Service has released its report on 2006 seafood landings in the United States, and Dutch Harbor remains at the top of the heap.
Dutch Harbor hauled in 911.3 million pounds of seafood in 2006, 23 million pounds more than the port's landings in 2005 and more than twice those of the next largest port, Louisiana's Intracoastal City. Dutch Harbor comes in second for value of seafood as usual, after New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Other Alaskan ports to crack the top-ten for value were Kodiak, Sitka, Naknek-King Salmon and Seward.
