The International Groundfish Forum, an organization representing the global groundfish sector, is predicting the global supply of wild-caught whitefish will remain flat in 2024 as some species see gains while others see big drops. The forum, which met in Athens, Greece in October, predicted that the total supply of wild-caught whitefish would be 7.042 million metric tons (MT), down just 1,000 MT from the 7.043 million MT available in 2023. The slight decrease still represents a higher supply than 2022, when the industry had 6.938 million MT to work with. While overall supply will remain flat, the forum predicted some fisheries will sustain large drops, while others will gain volume.Alaska pollock, the largest wild-caught whitefish species by volume, will see a big increase in available catch in 2024 compared to 2023. Across the major sources of the species, the Groundfish Forum is projecting the supply in 2024 will sit at just under 3.8 million MT, up from the 3.7 million MT ...
