For many years, the Atlantic cod industry took center stage, but partly thanks to climate change and overfishing, it is more and more likely that the cod on your kitchen table or in your fast food fish fillets came from Alaska's Pacific Cod Fishery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlaska Codfish Chronicle \u003c\/i\u003eis the first comprehensive history of this fishery. It looks at the early decades of the fishery's history, a period marked by hardship and danger, as well as the dominance of foreign fishermen. And the modern era, beginning in 1976 when the United States claimed an exclusive economic zone around the Alaska coasts, \"Americanizing\" the fishery and replacing the foreign fleets that had been ravaging the resources in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. Today, the Pacific cod fishery is, in terms of poundage, the second largest fishery in Alaska, and considered among the best-managed fisheries in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This history is extremely well documented, does not spare details, and is accessible to general readers. It incorporates nearly a hundred photographs and illustrations and is sprinkled with numerous observations from fishing industry journals and reports, even incorporating poems and recipes, making this an especially thorough and unique account of one of Alaska's most iconic and important industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alaska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602233898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"James Mackovjak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661484814492,"sku":"9781602233898","price":28.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_90c6b5df-7906-4998-9fbc-c4e627fcf929.jpg?v=1603899592","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/alaska-codfish-chronicle-a-history-of-the-pacific-cod-fishery-in-alaska-9781602233898","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
