The Pacific Coast Halibut Fishery

TaHE Pacific Coast halibut fishery is of interest because of its commercial importance, great distance from market, wide extent, rapid rise, and threatened decline. According to the value of its products this fishery ranks second among the fisheries of the Pacific Coast of North America (Table I) and ninth among the regional fisheries of the United States (Table II). During the post-war period of relative prosperity more than one-half of the world's total catch of halibut was produced in this area (Table III)
