Alaska cod pot fisherman earn extra flexibility with new octopus quota – Alaska Dispatch

October 8, 2012 North Pacific

Jim Paulin | Dutch Harbor Fisherman | Oct 06, 2012

The giant Pacific octopus probably won’t shut down the pot cod season early again this year in the Bering Sea.

Last year, the bycatch limit of 150 octopus was reached on Oct. 24, and the big boat Pacific pot cod fishery closed with 647 metric tons unharvested,

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
