NOAA Fisheries - February 8, 2024 Climate-driven changes in the timing of pollock spawning and migration can affect the timing of when fish aggregate in areas where surveys are conducted to monitor their abundance. This can affect survey estimates. It also complicates efforts to assess pollock stock status and sustainably manage fisheries because survey estimates are a data source for preparing annual stock assessments. However, NOAA Fisheries scientists have developed a new method to address climate-driven mismatches in survey timing and when fish gather to spawn. This has helped to improve the accuracy of Alaska pollock population estimates. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/scientists-identify-ways-account-effects-climate-change-fish-stock-estimates Labeling and Marketing 3MMI - Alaska “A” Season Cod & Pollock: Slower Landings, Complicated Market Dynamics TradexFoods - February 12, 2024 --- Alaska's "A season" kicked off in January, but the rate of pacific cod and pollock landings is significantly lagging compared to last year's figures at the same point in time. NMFS adjusted the Pollock TAC to 1.495 million MT, a notable increase from previous years, while in contrast, Russia's Pollock TAC is set at 2.285 million. Labeling current market dynamics as just complicated would be an understatement.
