After ugly dispute, Russian Fishery Company-led group wins Marine Stewardship Council nod for critical pollock fishery

The vessels chose to break off and pursue their own certificate after an ugly dispute with the leading pollock association.

The certificate gives all members of the consortium the ability to sell their products as certified, giving it full independence from the Pollock Catchers Association (PCA), which has held the MSC certificate since the fishery first received the eco-label.
