The MeatEater Podcast · Ep. 864: Is Trawling Destroying Alaska's Fisheries? · 20 Apr 2026 podcast

Because if they catch, you know, 2000 King salmon and this one day when the observers along, then the observer says, well, the other 70% of the trip, you're probably catching 2000 King salmon too, which risks shutting them down.

So, uh, there's this pretty wide insinuation that instead of actually going out and fishing hard or fishing for a full trip, you'd

set the net out once before midnight, fish for a couple hours in a spot you wouldn't normally fish, set it out again after midnight, fish for a couple hours, and then say, yeah, we had two days of observed fishing.

Now we have eight days without it type thing.

Totally.

They are.

Halibut's one of the easiest examples of that.

So they make this assumption, the halibut biologists, that essentially the entire halibut population of Alaska and Canada is

move out to like 3000 feet of water to spawn in the winter.

All their eggs and stuff mix there.

And then the trending currents carry them up to the Bering Sea.

And that is where the larva settles.

So they have these, what they call designated halibut nursery.

Okay.

Zones in the Bering Sea.

And then they say, as the fish get older, they have a clockwise migration.

So they move south and east.

So.

Back up from it.

Yeah.
