A total of 230 Walleye Pollock, Gadus chalcogrammus, were collected from the Bering Sea. The population was assessed for age, growth, and mortality by using the software FISATⅡ, a fishery resource assessment software recommended by FAO. From our result, total lengths varied from 41.3 cm to 54.8 cm, and the eviscerated weights ranged between 422.74 g and 782.74 g were the dominant groups, respectively. There was no significant correlation between sex and growth (the relationship between sex and length-weight was W = 0.045608L2.46); von Bertalanffy growth parameters were L∞ = 74.86 cm, W∞ = 1 860.78 g, K = 0.17, and t0 = 0.77. The total instantaneous mortality (Z) was estimated at 0.67, whereas the corresponding estimate of fishing mortality (F) was at 0.40. The population appeared to have been moderately exploited at an exploitation rate (E) of 0.59. We further made a comprehensive assessment of the utilization status of this species by analyzing the historical catch of the past 40 years (Fig. 6), and found that the current utilization status of the Walleye Pollock population has become more rational, standardized, and institutionalized than the end of the 20th century, which could be attributed to the regulation of pelagic fishery international organizations. Although the exploitation rate of G. chalcogrammus is above 0.5, it is far lower when compared with the economically important fish species, such as Trichiurus japonicus and Pampus argenteus which are currently caught in the coastal areas of China. To promote China's pelagic fishery healthy and sustainable development, continuous monitoring of various species with high economical value are highly suggested.
