The key to improving your mood could be adding more Alaska seafood to your diet. 🐟

Learn how Alaska seafood species can help your mood from registered dietitian Roxana Ehsani.
Whales were eating the catch. So Alaska’s fishermen changed the gear.​

To protect the fishery and the whales, fishermen adapted innovations from other fisheries – lightweight, collapsible slinky pots that trap sablefish while keeping whales out. The gear is safer for small boats, reduces bycatch, cuts fuel use, and helps fishermen spend less time away from home.​

With strong results, the fleet worked with managers to update regulations – proving that when the ecosystem changes, Alaska adapts. The shift is improving both the fishery and whale habitats.​

“There’s more black cod out there in the ocean right now than we’ve seen in a long time,” says Norm Pillen, president of Seafood Producers Cooperative.​

 🎣Alaska sablefish is thriving. And like all Alaska seafood, it’s a product of sustainability, innovation, and the people who make it possible.​
