Keeping Fish Catches Smart in Alaska

"Keeping Fish Catches Smart in Alaska"," The Alaskan waters are some of the most bountiful in the world, and thanks to prudent regulation of the fishing industry in that state, there is every sign that those waters will remain just as abundant.


With gillnetting, many factors are carefully calibrated to ensure that the right species of fish will end up in the net.
 The size of the target fish species is used to determine the size of the mesh in Alaska gillnetting, one of the most important controls in the process.


Of course, since Alaska gillnetting is so efficient, the practice needs to be-and is-very tightly managed to ensure the preservation of wild fisheries, which are one of Alaska's biggest assets.


With many different kinds of gillnets out there, there are distinct varieties being used to catch certain species or to hunt in certain waters.
 So, if you want to help support a sustainable and intelligent fishing industry the next time you choose to eat seafood, consider buying Alaskan seafood, where the most sustainable of all standards are applied.
