A regional fisheries board is considering changes to commercial Atlantic menhaden harvest limits in Chesapeake Bay, including keeping the annual cap at 51,000 metric tons, cutting it by as much as half, or linking it to a coastwide limit. The draft plan also considers dividing the bay cap into seasonal periods; conservation groups cite low menhaden abundance, while fishing advocates warn of job losses.
A lower allowable harvest could reduce the supply of menhaden used to produce fishmeal and fish oil, potentially tightening supplies and supporting prices. The outcome remains under consideration.
