Alaska fishing quotas for 2026 and 2027 are now open for public comment

The US government is proposing the fishing limits for groundfish in the Gulf of Alaska for 2026 and 2027. This means fishing companies can now see the proposed catch amounts and plan their operations.

Every two years, the government sets the total amount of fish that can be caught in Alaskan waters. These limits directly affect how much revenue fishing companies can expect and how many boats they can deploy. The proposed limits are often close to the final ones, so this document gives an early look at the economic landscape for the next two fishing seasons.
