How is Alaska pollock harvested?
The catch is harvested with mid-water trawl nets. Mid-water trawling minimizes the effects of fishing on the ocean environment. APA member vessels utilize at-sea processing technology that allows them to process, freeze and store their catch onboard within hours of harvest, creating products of the highest quality. Alaska pollock is also harvested by catcher-only trawl vessels that deliver their catch to onshore processors.
