Description
Summary:The present is a sixth report by the International Fisheries Commission upon scientific results obtained under the terms of the Convention of 1924 between the United States and Great Britain for the preservation of the halibut fishery of the Northern Pacific Ocean, including Bering Sea. This is the first of the reports upon the biological statistics of the halibut fishery. It deals with the abundance of halibut upon the banks, their present condition, and history. It should be read in connection with Report Numbers 2 and 5, as forming a foundation for the recommendations of the commission outlined and discussed in Reports 1 and 7. The International Fisheries Commission has had the help of an advisory board of four members: Dr. C. McLean Fraser, Dr. W. A. Clemens, Mr. N. B. Scofield, and the late Prof. John N. Cobb.
