Data from tagging studies and stable isotope ratio analyses (δ18O and δ13C) in otoliths of tagged Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis, provided unique information about halibut distribution and area migration. The δ18O values of otoliths of individual halibut tagged in the Bering Sea and the Gu...

The δ18O values of otoliths of individual halibut tagged in the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska ranged from −0.5 ‰ to +1.0‰ VPDB (Vienna Peedee belemnite) in the first few years, but gradually increased to 2.0–2.5 ‰ VPDB when these tagged fish were recaptured as adults in waters off British Columbia.

Comparison of isotopic composition from the age-1 halibut (i.e., aragonite samples taken from the first annulus of otoliths) and the adult (ages ≥8) indicated that the ocean conditions between the Bering Sea and the northeast Pacific were markedly different over the tagging period, but the area boundaries between the Gulf of Alaska and British Columbia were not clear.
