The Pelagic Freezer-trawler Association (PFA) represents the interests of 10 European pelagic freezer-trawler companies on an international level. At present, the association has members in the UK, France, Germany, Lithuania and the Netherlands, all operating freezer-trawlers that catch and process pelagic fish for human consumption. Our basic aim is a sustainable fishing industry, now and in the future. The food supply of frozen pelagic fish to people all over the world must be in balance with the harvesting of the pelagic fish stocks.
