The International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) maintains a variety of research projects designed to evaluate the physical health and viability of the Pacific halibut stock and fishery.

Whale Depredation

Whale depredation affects the Pacific halibut fishery to varying degrees, and is highly location-dependent. The IPHC has monitored signs of whale depredation on the fishery-independent setline survey since 2009, and has recorded marine mammal sightings during the survey since 2001.
