Alaskan Pollock Theragra chalcogramma Description: Alaska Pollock, also known as walleye pollock, is closely NUTRITIONAL related to Atlantic Pollock but not the same species. Alaska INFORMATION Pollock is an extremely important commercial resource fished Per 3.5 ounce portion heavily in two regions in Alaska: the Bering Sea/Aleutians Calories 81 Islands and the Gulf of Alaska. In fact, the Alaska Pollock Total Fat 0.8 g fishery is the largest U.S. fishery by volume. Originally Protein 17.2 g Sodium 99 mg marketed as a less expensive alternative to cod and haddock, Cholesterol 71 mg this abundant fish now has a well established market and Omega-3 0.38 g is the world’s most consumed whitefish. Alaska Pollock is a brownish-green mottled fish with white sides and belly. COOKING METHODS Eating Qualities: Bake The fish is very mild (although stronger than cod), Broil lean, and light with a large flake. Compared with Fry Atlantic Pollock, Alaska Pollock has a whiter Grill flesh, milder flavor and less oil than Pollock Poach fished in the Atlantic which is a different species. Sauté Fishing Methods: The Alaska Pollock fishery is a mid-water trawler fishery HANDLING with onshore processing, but is set apart from other U.S. Whole fish should be packed in fisheries by the use of catcher/processor vessels that flaked ice. Whole fish and fillets produce and freeze a variety of products at sea. Pollock should be stored in a drain pan is managed as part of a group of species referred to as the in the coldest part of the walk-in. groundfish multi-species complex under the Groundfish Fillets should also be covered in ice Fishery Management Plans for the Gulf of Alaska and the although with a barrier, so the ice Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands. Alaska Pollock is certified never touches the flesh. sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).

S. waters of the Great Lakes and sport fishing is limited. Canada allows commercial harvest from Ontario waters of Lake Huron only. Lake sturgeon is considered threatened or endangered by 19 of the 20 states within its original range in the U.S. Lake sturgeon abundance was reduced dramatically in the late 1800’s by commercial overfishing and habitat degradation. The life history characteristics of lake sturgeon, late maturity and infrequent spawning after maturity, prevent populations from rebounding quickly after such catastrophes. Fishery agencies are providing training and equipment to commercial fishers for data collection from lake sturgeon.

Portraits with Pollock
FOREWORD The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and th e dom es tic fishing industry, especiall y that part of the industry lo cated in New England, recommend pollock, an excellent sea food- nutritious, flavorful and sati s fying a delicious substitute for haddock. Pollock is available in great numbers in the co ld waters of the North Atlantic but is a relatively unused food resource. They are more difficult to catch th an haddock, but haddock have experienced spawning failures during the past 5 years. The famous Georges Bank haddock populations are extremely low. The United States and 13 other nations and their fishing fleets are cooperating in a program to rehabilitate the haddock resource. International annual catch quotas have been imposed and fishing for haddock in certain areas is prohibited during the spawnin g season. This program will continue at least through 1972. With little or no h addock on the market, fishing efforts are now co ncentrated on pollock, a close relative of both the haddock and cod. Try pollock us in g you r own favorite recipe, or the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries tested and approved "0;"' ;0 <h;. ,obl;"I;,o, @~ H. ~I Charles H.

Pollachius Virens
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published October 5 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Use of rocky intertidal habitats by juvenile pollock Pollachius virens Robert W. Rangeley*, Donald L. Kramer Department of Biology, McGill University, 1205 Docteur Penfield Avenue, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 1B1 ABSTRACT: We ~nvestigatedpatterns of distribution and foraging by young-of-the-year pollock Pol- lachius virens in the rocky intertidal zone. Pollock were sampled by beach seine in fucoid macroalgae and in open habitats at all stages of the tide, day and night throughout the summer. Their presence in shallow water at the high tidal stages indicated that at least part of the pollock population migrated across the full width of the intertidal zone (150 m) each tide. Densities in shallow water were much higher at low than at high tidal stages suggesting that a large influx of pollock moved in from the sub- tidal zone at low tidal stages and then dispersed into intertidal habitats at high tidal stages. There were few differences in pollock densit~esbetween algal and open habitats but abundances likely increased in the algal habitat at higher tidal stages when changes in habitat availability are taken Into account. Densities were higher at night and there was an order of magnitude decline in pollock densities from early to late summer. In another study we showed that piscivorous birds are a probable cause of pollock summer mortality. Pollock fed on invertebrates from intertidal algae relatively continuously. The tidal migrations of juvenile pollock observed in this study and their use of macroalgae as a foraging and possibly a refuging habitat strongly suggests that the rocky intertidal zone may be an important fish nursery area.

Eating local Wiscon- sin fish is a very powerful way for us to stay connected to these waters when we’re enjoying dinner at a restaurant or preparing a meal for our families back at home. PThis guide showcases seafood available from producers in Wisconsin, a state rich in both fishing heritage and water resources. Generations of families have commercially harvested Wisconsin waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior since the 1830s, and Wisconsin fish farmers are leaders in aquaponics, cultivating fish and plants together to efficiently recycle nutrients. There’s a lot for us to love about our Wisconsin fish: Local Jobs: More than 90% of the seafood eaten by Americans is imported from other countries. By purchasing fish from Wisconsin fish farmers and Great Lakes commercial fishers, food dollars support local family businesses. Local Protection: Unlike many international seafood producers, Wisconsin fish farmers and Great Lakes commercial fishermen are strictly regulated by federal and state laws that protect fish populations, human health and the environment. Local Stewardship: People who care about eating local fish also care about local water, and more people caring about Wisconsin’s water is good for us all. Enjoy meeting our local Wisconsin fish producers! KATHLEEN S.

Susie Riskind 847.624.3886 [email protected] FORTUNE FISH COMPANY FORGES SUSTAINABILITY PARTNERSHIP Netting American red snapper, for a cause (Bensenville, IL)— On April 1, 2012, Fortune Fish Company strengthened its commitment to sustainability by teaming with the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), a non-profit organization whose mission is to engage and catalyze global seafood supply chains to rebuild depleted fish stocks and reduce the environmental impacts of fishing and fish farming. Fortune Fish Company will work closely with SFP and its team of researchers and scientists to assess the sustainability of the seafood products it carries and identify necessary improvements. SFP will also assist Fortune in further developing the “Fortune Fish Sustainability Initiative.” Through this program, the company celebrates a seafood item every two months, while donating a portion of the proceeds to fund Fishery Improvement Projects. “Investing in Sustainability is investing in our future,” says Mark Palicki, vice president of marketing at Fortune Fish Company. “It isn’t enough to talk about sustainability – we need to actually fund programs that spearhead improvement. The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership is at the forefront of this movement, and we are excited to work with them and their Fishery Improvement Projects.” Throughout April and May, Fortune Fish Company will feature vertical hook and line- caught American Red Snapper. For every pound sold, a portion of proceeds support the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery Improvement Project, which is dedicated to improving policies and fishing practices in the Gulf of Mexico and, by virtue, red snapper fishing.

Post Cards from the 6Th Mass Extinction
TRANSCRIPT POST CARDS FROM THE 6TH MASS EXTINCTION Bluefin Tunas and the Problem of Overfishing Hi I’m John Rafferty, I am the editor for Earth Sciences at Encyclopaedia Britannica, and today we are talking about the decline in fish stocks, specifically that of the Atlantic and Pacific Bluefin tunas. These are commercial fishes, which were once considered to be the same species. Bluefin tunas are arguably overfished (meaning that more of them are being netted than their reproductive rate can replace). We will also get into the problem of overfishing in general. Spend some time with us today, and we’ll explore the natural history of Bluefin tunas, the threats to their long-term survival (how their populations today are but a tiny fraction of what they once were), and overfishing as an unsustainable practice that threatens these species but also several others around the globe. By the way, if you miss something during this talk, you can find it again our website. PROLOGUE: Natural History: The genus Thunnus is made up of seven species of oceanic fishes, some very large, and these are the ones that possess a great commercial value as food. Tunas are elongated, robust, and streamlined fishes; they have a rounded body that tapers to a slender tail base and a forked or crescent-shaped tail. In colour, tunas are generally dark above and silvery below, often with an iridescent shine. Another notable feature is a well-developed network of blood vessels below the skin that acts as a temperature-regulating device associated with long-term, slow swimming.
