Ice Availability in Bristol Bay
/The Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association (BBRSDA) encourages the fleet to chill their fish and handle them with care. Chilling fish is the most important action fishermen can do to preserve quality. BBRSDA is financially assisting three different ice platforms this year .
