The latest assessment of fisheries using this method was conducted in 2020.
The stock of Alaska pollock is in good condition. Both in the Gulf of Alaska and in the eastern Bering Sea, the biomass is at sustainable levels and fishing pressure is low, although there are concerns about the future development of the stock in the Gulf of Alaska.
The ecological impact of the catch method Danish seine cannot currently be determined due to incomplete information on bycatch. As a result, the ecological impact cannot be properly assessed either. The category ecosystem effects therefore receives a red score.
The overall fishery management framework applies to this fishery and is considered partially effective. For this reason, the category fishery management receives an orange score.
The final assessment for this fishery is yellow, but this fishery is not recommended due to a lack of recent information and the availability of more sustainable alternatives.
