The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission voted 11–7 on 10 November 2026 to set the Atlantic menhaden catch limit at 170,000 metric tonnes for 2027 and 155,000 for 2028, a roughly 17% cut over two years from the 2026 limit. The Commission's Technical Committee had said about 114,200 tonnes was needed for even odds of keeping fishing pressure within the ecosystem target.
Menhaden is a key input for US fishmeal and fish oil, so a tighter catch limit reduces supply of fishmeal-based feed ingredients and supports prices for alternatives such as soybean meal and fishmeal substitutes.
