A staple of the US fast food industry, the Alaska Pollock, has shrunk its
numbers to record low levels. Pollock is used in McDonald's fish sandwiches,
frozen fish sticks, fish and chips and imitation crabmeat. It also helps
feed fur seals, whales and the endangered Steller sea lions. According to
Taina Honkalehto, a research fishery biologist with the US National Marine
Fisheries Service, pollock biomass in US waters was down to 940,000 tons
from 1.8 million tons last year, more than a 50% decrease. "Just as the
financial institutions on Wall Street collapsed due to poor oversight and
mismanagement, the pollock fishery is on the fast-track to collapse as
well," Greenpeace said.
