关于我们

The International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC), originally called the International Fisheries Commission, was established in 1923 by a Convention between the governments of Canada and the United States of America. Its mandate is research on and management of the stocks of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) within the Convention waters of both nations. The IPHC consists of three government-appointed commissioners for each country who serve their terms at the pleasure of the President of the United States and the Canadian government respectively. The IPHC, an International Fisheries Organization, receives monies from both the U.S. and Canadian governments to support a Director and staff. Annually, the IPHC meets to conduct the business of the Commission. At this annual meeting the budgets, research plans, biomass estimates, catch recommendations, as well as regulatory proposals are discussed and approved then forwarded to the respective governments for implementation. The IPHC staff and offices are currently located in Seattle, Washington. The IPHC conducts numerous projects annually to support both major mandates: stock assessment and basic halibut biology. Current projects include standardized stock assessment fishing surveys from northern California to the end of the Aleutian Islands, as well as field sampling in major fishing ports to collect scientific information from the halibut fleet. In conjunction with these ongoing programs, the IPHC conducts numerous biological and scientific experiments to further the understanding and information about Pacific halibut. The Commission encourages public participation in the management of the resource and regularly seeks advice from its advisory bodies and various State, Provincial, and Federal agencies.

  • 14 August: the last hook is out of the water! The FV Kema Sue hauled its last set and will be offloading in Homer, AK. With that, the International Pacific Halibut Commission concludes another successful Fishery-Independent Setline Survey (FISS). Over the course of 83 days, and five vessels, our chartered crews and Secretariat team in the field set over 2,225 kilometers (~1,382 miles) of gear and 7,300,800 baited hooks to collect the data to power the Pacific halibut stock assessment. It has been a FISS season of ups and downs, challenges and rewards. Between some of the most beautiful scenery and some of the ugliest weather, our Secretariat team members in the field and vessel crews worked diligently all season long. As we wrap up the 2024 FISS, we wish to extend our gratitude to the staff who traveled far and wide to be part of the FISS, the captains and crew who return year after year bringing their knowledge and experience, and to all the buyers and vendors who assist with FISS operations. Thank you all!
