Pollock Fishing in the Bering Sea, Alaska

Pelagic (mid-water) trawling for pollock fish. This is a compilation of still shot and video edited to show a typical fishing experience on this type of commercial trawler in Alaska from start to finish. Unfortunately there is no audio. This video was made in 2006 on F/V Highland Light. Pollock is a white fleshed fish used for fish sticks, fillet ’o fish, and also a main ingredient in surimi (artifical crab). Other byproducts include fishmeal (fertilizer and animal feed) and fish oil.
