HALIBUT FISHERY OF THE PACIFIC COAST ^ 



The halibut fishery of the Pacific coast, which is prosecuted both by 

 United States (including Alaska) and Canadian vessels, ranks as one of 

 the foremost fisheries of that section. During 1931 the total catch by 



» To preclude the possibility of unwarranted comparison of figures given in this section with others for 

 years previous to 1927, it should be explained that the figures as herein compiled differ from those pub- 

 lished in separate reports for the Alaska fisheries and the Pacific Coast States. The difference lies princi- 

 pally in the fleet classifications as between Washington and .\laska, though there is reason to believe that 

 the figures on landings also are not comparable with those previously published, due to variable practice in 

 the inclusion of United States caught halibut landed at foreign ports as well as the possible duplication of 

 figures. The present compilation is a complete resume of the landings of the United States fleet for the 

 year 1931 at all Pacific ports, except those in Oregon and California, witnout omission or duplication. The 

 fleet classification has been applied arbitrarily by including in the " Washington fleet" all vessels that land 

 more than half of their catch in that State. All others were included in the "Alaska fleet." It has been 

 necessary to use "hailing fares" for the weight of the landings at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The 

 data for Seattle and Alaska are based on the actual weight of the fares. Halibut are landed with the heads 

 on, but eviscerated.
