Pacific Herring • Pacific herring are commercially important fish in Alaska and are harvested for their roe and for use as bate fish. • They mature at three or four years of age and average less than 9” in length. • Herring feed on plankton and are a key link between producers and consumers. • Steller sea lions, seals, and many species of sea birds depend on an abundance of these high-fat fish for a healthy diet.
