HALIBUT FISHERY OF THE PACIFIC COAST 
The halibut fishery of the Pacific coast, which is prosecuted by 
United States (including Alaska) and Canadian vessels, ranks as one 
of the foremost fisheries of that section. During 1935, the total catch 
of halibut by vessels of both nationalities amounted to 45,772,000 
pounds, valued at $3,252,000. This is a decrease of 1 percent in 
volume but an increase of 10 percent in value as compared with the 
catch and its value in 1934. Of the total catch in 1935, 78 percent 
was taken by United States craft and 22 percent by Canadian craft. 
Considered according to ports of landing, 49 percent was landed at 
Bem eneen 37 percent at Canadian ports; and 14 percent at ports 
in Alaska. 
Norte.—These statistics are compiled from data collected by the International Fisheries Commission for 
Washington and British Columbia, and by Bureau agents for Alaska. The weights of the above species 
represent the fish after evisceration and removal of heads.
