Description
The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) is responsible for effectively managing the groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea (BS), Aleutian Islands (AI), and Gulf of Alaska(GOA). These fisheries target walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), Atka mackerel (Pleurogrammus monopterygius) and numerous flatfish (Pleuronectes sp. and Hippoglossoides sp.) and rockfish (Sebastes sp. and Sebastolobus sp.) species. The stocks are routinely evaluated by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) scientists, who are relied on by the NPFMC to recommend harvest levels that will maintain healthy stocks. Alaska Department of Fish and Game scientists evaluate the stocks of three species of demersal shelf rockfish, for which the NPFMC has delegated management authority to the State of Alaska.
