Pollock Quota Shift to Bering Sea
The National Marine Fisheries Service is moving projected unused Aleut Corporation and Community Development Quota (CDQ) pollock directed fishing allowances (DFA) from the Aleutian Islands subarea to the Bering Sea subarea for 2025. This change is intended to provide the opportunity to harvest the 2025 total allowable catch (TAC) of pollock, giving Bering Sea fishermen a chance to catch additional pollock during 2025.
