pollock fishery research

Pollock fishery research involves studying the populations and ecosystems of pollock, a crucial fish species found primarily in the North Pacific Ocean. This research aims to assess the health and sustainability of pollock stocks, inform fishing regulations, and ensure that fishing practices do not harm the environment. Scientists collect data on fish size, age, reproduction, and habitat. By analyzing this information, they can help manage pollock fisheries responsibly, balancing economic needs with conservation efforts, ultimately supporting local communities and maintaining the marine ecosystem's health.
