1995 Halibut Landing Report No. 16

Area 2A Non-treaty Commercial Halibut Fishery Closed

The International Pacific Halibut Commission estimates that the Area 2A catch limit of 105,000 pounds was reached after the September 26 fishing period. This catch limit includes approximately 14,000 pounds that was "rolled-over" from the incidental commercial catch of halibut allocated to the salmon troll fishery. Therefore, Area 2A is closed to commercial halibut fishing for the remainder of 1995.
