The 2019 Pacific Halibut season will begin at noon local time on Friday March 15th and terminate at noon local time on Thursday November 14th, as announced and approved by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC).  The IPHC meets annually bringing together halibut processors, fishermen and scientists to determine quota size, dates and current issues involving Pacific Halibut. http://www.iphc.int/home.html

The Coastwide commercial catches from Northern California to the Bering Sea, increased to over 24 million pounds. This translates to nearly six percent higher than 2018, with Alaska’s share at 19 million pounds, a three million pound increase from 2018. The increase reasons noted were due to estimates of the overall biomass being up, based on expanded surveys completed in summer.
