Underutilized Species + Climate - Informed Profiles

Seven underutilized fish species in New England were identified by Davis et al. 2023 using a quantitative definition. These seven species were Acadian redfish, Atlantic pollock, butterfish, haddock, scup, silver hake, and white hake.

The climate-informed profiles below provide additional details about these underutilized species including a general life history, landings, value, and how the species are responding to climate change.

The underutilized statuses coupled with the climate and market information are provided together in these profiles to help markets and consumers better understand their fish and fisheries in a changing climate.
