Rainbow Fish and The Big Ocean Party Features

Salmon and whitefish are two of the most popular seafood species. Although they are both abundant in the Pacific Ocean waters off of Alaska, they each require different ways of harvesting. These two seafood species each have three different ways of being harvested.

Salmon

Trolling: Although the least efficient way to catch Salmon, there are many benefits to trolling. Trolling is done by two fishermen on a small boat with several lines and hooks in the water. They go far into the water, searching many parts of the ocean for Salmon, even areas that are not highly populated. They do not end up catching many fish, which is what makes it inefficient. However, they get to go further into the sea than other types of fisherman do, and the salmon caught by trolling are treated better than others.

Harvesting Techniques For Different Types of Fish

Gillnetting: Most salmon are caught by gillnetting. A net is put into the water in the path of the salmon to trap them when they try to swim through. A large number of fish are caught this way, and fishermen generally have to make several trips back to the land a day to drop off their fish.

Purse Seining: Similar to gillnetting, purse seining uses a large circular net with a closed bottom that encloses whole schools of fish. Large amounts of fish can also be caught with this method.

Whitefish

Trawl: With this method, fish are caught by large nets that are shaped like bags. They are attached to the back of boats, known as trawlers, trailing behind in the water. Trawling is ideal because of the technology that allows fishermen to pinpoint the exact location of the specific species they want, bringing them to the fish and avoiding catching the wrong kind.

Longline: Longlining is specific to a few types of whitefish. Longlines are essentially fishing rods, which are set up along the edge of the water. Fisherman can retrieve the fish from the hooks that they want and let the rest go.

Pots: Pots are also specific to certain fish. Pots are huge cages that are covered with nets. The pots, with bait in them, are set on the bottom of the ocean and sit there until fish are caught. The fishermen go through the trapped fish after bringing the pot back on board. The fish enter the cage through tunnels that do not let them escape. However, should a pot be lost, the pot's panels are biodegradable so that the fish will be able to go free.

Each way of harvesting is unique to the specific seafood species. If done responsibly, such as with the biodegradable panels on the pots, harvesting keeps the safety of the fish in mind.
