Two Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) fisheries, one located in the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) and the other in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI), have earned Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification having been independently assessed and found to be sustainable and well managed. The certification covers four methods of fishing for Pacific Cod in the GoA and the BSAI—longline, trawl, pot and jig. Pacific cod is sold internationally, with North America, Europe and Asia being the primary markets. This popular whitefish is used to produce fillets, salted cod (bacalau) and frozen headed and gutted fish blocks that are reprocessed into various products all around the world.
