At American Seafoods, our carbon footprint in the production of Wild Pacific Hake (Whiting) is the lowest among all meat proteins, a point that deserves greater awareness among consumers today. Our use of fresh water in the production process aboard our catcher-processor vessels is also the lowest among meat proteins: zero.

The Wild Pacific Hake (Whiting) species is a trans-boundary stock that migrates between United States and Canadian waters. The Wild Pacific Hake (Whiting) stock is sustainably managed by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), a division of the United States Department of Commerce. Biological catch limits are determined by impartial scientists who work for NMFS, state fishery agencies, and universities. Quotas are set at or below the biological limits by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, a body made up of knowledgeable private citizens and state and federal government officials. The total quota is allocated between the US and Canada under a treaty that was signed by the two countries in 2007. Under this agreement, the United States is allocated approximately 74 percent of the quota and Canada receives 26 percent. Within the United States, the US share is further allocated between the catcher-processor, shore-based and mothership sectors. Certain tribes in the Pacific Northwest are also allocated a share of the quota subject to their ability to harvest it. More information on the management of the Wild Pacific Hake (Whiting) fishery is available on www.fishwatch.gov.

The Wild Pacific Hake (Whiting) fishery achieved Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification for sustainability in 2009 and 2014. More information on that certification and the sustainability of the fishery is available on www.msc.org.
