Arctic Storm Participates in Rationalized Fishing to Sustain the Ocean and Its Resources

Online, July 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (SAN DIEGO, CA) - In an interview with Food and Drink Digital, Arctic Storm President Doug Christensen describes the importance of his company's involvement in conserving the ocean and its resources.

Arctic Storm's four vessels fish pollock and whiting in Alaska and the West Coast, and are members of fishery cooperatives that allocate catch shares among their members who are committed to the conservation and utilization of marine resources.

The rationalized fishery allows Arctic Storm and other participants an opportunity to improve the quality of the harvest and practice innovation. It allows them to increase utilization of the resources by increasing the recovery rate and producing more products for consumers.

Christensen said, "There's a strong focus on continual innovation on what we do with our fish. We're constantly trying to figure out ways to make more products with the same amount of fish. By doing so, we've increased our fishmeal output, added fish oil output and added high recovery lines that increase our frozen human consumption food output."
