• Description:
  The 1985 Alaskan rockfish catch soared to 1.8 million pounds, due primarily to high restaurant demand. Rockfish are old when caught; the average yelloweye is more than half a century old. They are long-lived, slow-growing creatures. Supply, already declining, will probably never meet demand; and it has been estimated that there will be nothing but scratch fishing left by the end of the decade. In the meantime, the fisherman who takes the care to produce consistently good quality will have no trouble selling the product. The following is a list of methods for maintaining consistent rockfish quality onboard a small- to medium-sized fishing vessel.
