The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission approved a 9% reduction in the coastwide Atlantic menhaden catch limit for 2027, despite scientific analysis cited by the campaign calling for a 40% cut to meet an ecosystem target. The release says the new quota is about 23,000 metric tons above the 2025 catch, when the industry harvested 145,833 metric tons.
The approved limit leaves room for catches above recent realized harvest, so it is unlikely by itself to constrain near-term menhaden meal and oil supply. A substantially tighter future quota could reduce those supplies and support prices.
