After salmon, pollock is Alaska’s most profitable fishery. It’s certainly the state’s most productive one, with fishermen harvesting a couple billion pounds of the fish annually. But recently, the stock has seen some ups and downs. After a couple of years of record low harvest limits, fishery managers raised this year’s cap by half. That didn’t go over well with some fishermen, who argued that the quota should be brought down once again at the North Pacific Fishery Management Council meeting in Anchorage.
