In this episode I speak with Susie Zagorski, who at the time of our conversation was Field Project Manager for the North Pacific Fisheries Research Foundation. We discuss her research to ensure the sustainability of the Alaska Pollock fishery, the largest fishery in the United States. Since our conversation, Susie has switched jobs and now works as a purser on C/P Starbound, a commercial Alaska pollock fishing vessel (C/P is for “catch/process” and denotes a ship that fishes for a species and processes that species onboard). Our creature feature this week is on swordfish and why they’re literally hotheaded. Submit a creature feature to be aired on the show!
