Peltola sponsors a bill to limit salmon bycatch. The pollock industry calls it 'unworkable.'

Alaska Congresswoman Mary Peltola introduced two bills Wednesday that aim to deliver on one of her campaign themes: Reducing the number of salmon that the Bering Sea fishing fleet catches by accident.

It would require regional fisheries management councils to designate bottom trawl zones and limit that kind of fishing to those areas.
