US sets 2025 Pacific whiting catch limits, including a specific share for Tribal fisheries

The US government has set the total amount of Pacific whiting that can be caught off the West Coast in 2025. This includes a specific allocation for Tribal fishing rights, along with amounts for other fisheries and research.

Each year, the government sets limits on how much fish can be caught to prevent overfishing and manage the resource. This rule specifies the exact amount of Pacific whiting that can be harvested, which directly impacts the fishing industry and the communities that rely on it. It also ensures that Tribal treaty fishing rights are implemented with a clear allocation.
