Yes Eben, Reduction Fleet....The Pogie Sieners catch for the Reduction Plants that cook the fish, extract the oils and other stuff for the various industries that depend on the parts from the pogie.
The reduced parts are used in perfume, cosmetics like lip stick and skin creams on down the line. They even use the dried meal for fertilizer. Scales were used in making jewelry, eyes are used in bass fishing plugs.
Every thing except the smell is put to good use!
