Abstract

The west coast halibut fishery of North America has a long history of regulation. Under the auspices of the International Pacific Halibut Commission, from its southern limits in California to its northern bounds in Alaska, the fishery has been regulated and researched since 1923. However, the management of the ‘derby-style’ fishery came under scrutiny in British Columbia (BC), Canada, during the late 1980s.
