The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf : oceanography and resources / edited by Donald W. Hood and John A. Calder easternberingsea00hood Year: 1981 Demersal fish 1027 Areas of fishing Current fishing areas for major species of demersal fish are illustrated in Figs. 60-5 to 60-11, using Japa- nese commercial catch statistics from 1977. Principal areas of fishing for pollock and Pacific cod (Figs. 60-5, 60-6) are along the outer continental shelf and slope in the eastern Bering Sea. The largest catches of pollock were made between the eastern Aleutian Islands and the Pribilof Islands and southwest of St. Matthew Island. From 1973 to 1977, 38 percent of the pollock catch, representing about 510,000 mt annually, came from the southeast Bering Sea; almost all the rest came from north and northwest of the Pribilofs. Catches of Pacific cod were concentrated in the same area as those of pollock. Cod are mainly a by-catch of the pollock fishery, although they are an occasional target species when high concentrations Figure 60-5.
