For Seafood Landings, Port of Dutch Harbor Retains First Place – Fishermen’s News

October 17, 2012 National

The Port of Dutch Harbor has done it again! For the 15th time in 15 years, Dutch Harbor led the nation in 2011 with the greatest amount of fish landed – primarily pollock – the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet
