Tridge summary

The Federal Fisheries Council has set the maximum catches for several commercial species for the next year, based on recommendations from INIDEP. The pollock stock is showing signs of recovery, but a cautious approach is needed to maintain this.

However, there may be a need to further reduce the CMP to ensure the sustainability of the resource and the fishery.

For the southern stock, the CMP was increased by 20 thousand tons for next year, going from 319 thousand tons in 2024 to 339 thousand for 2025. The minutes do not provide data on the biological indices that allowed this ...
