ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 11 — Alaska’s multimillion-dollar cod industry is on track to be certified as a sustainable fishery, a move that should increase sales, industry officials said.
The industry expects within days to receive certification from the Marine Stewardship Council in London, said Larry Cotter, head of the Aleutian Pribilof Island Community Development Association.
The council’s seal of approval means Pacific cod could bring prices 3 percent to 5 percent higher than non-certified fish, especially in Europe, the Alaska Journal of Commerce reported Monday.
