Cod — Pacific
120,000,000 BCE - present
“Pacific cod stocks are neither overfished nor approaching an overfished condition. Data from a variety of sources (commercial landings, scientific research surveys, etc.) is compiled in order to establish proper fishing quotas. Pacific cod is carefully managed throughout the fishing season in order to ensure fishing quotas are adhered to. Careful management measures limit landings, which has helped keep populations healthy, despite fluctuations in overall abundance.”
