Alaska' sells, while Pacific cod and flatfish sell well

摘要

World's top fish: What is the most popular fish in the world? It's codfish, and Alaska is the world's leading producer of Pacific cod. During the years of the collapse of Atlantic cod stocks, customers turned to Pacific cod as a substitute. Now that both stocks are on the rebound, Pacific cod is maintaining its market share. In recent years, Atlantic cod production has been around 1 million tons, with Pacific cod production about half of that. Alaska accounts for 66 percent of Pacific cod fish production, followed by Russia at 20 percent, and Japan and South Korea account for the rest.
