When is the Alaska pollock fishing season and where is the fishery conducted?
In the larger Bering Sea fishery, the annual quota is harvested in two fishing seasons–the first occurs from January to April and the second from June through October. The Bering Sea pollock fishery is the worlds largest food fishery. There is also a smaller pollock fishery in the Gulf of Alaska. U.S. fisheries jurisdiction extends outward 200 miles from the coast. The Alaska pollock fishery occurs exclusively within U.S. jurisdiction.
