The West Coast bottom fish fishery has now become recognized and certified

as a sustainable fishery with room to grow. By rebuilding the fishery to a
sustainable place, the bottom fish category now lends itself to the growing
demand of seafood. Globally, the supply of bottom fish represents over 18

billion pounds annually, while consumers are looking for greater varieties of
seafood in greater numbers than ever before.
The year-round availability of these species ensures that supplies remain stable
across all seasons, meeting the needs of both customers and consumers.
Referring consumers to this category provides them something new while
easing the supply pressure on more seasonal species.
