Pollock

Pollock
Pollock are found on both sides of the Atlantic from Norway to the Chesapeake bay but are most plentiful in waters off Nova Scotia, Cape Cod (Georges Bank), and in the Gulf of Maine.

Pollock eat shrimp, crabs and other crustaceans and small fish. They do not eat bivalve mollusks.

Pollock are caught in waters at levels between the surface and a depth of 450 ft (137 m). They are caught handled aboard the boat, and processed in much the same manner as that described for cod. Small quantities of pollock are salted and dried.

Pollock support the largest fishery in US waters and comprise to 80% of the annual catch in the eastern Bering Sea and around the Aleutian Islands.
