The Pacific halibut fishery / by James A. Crutchfield.: EC24-11/17-1981E-PDF

"The biology of the fishery dictates an industry which exploits simultaneously a large number of year-classes. For this reason, the Halibut fishery is ideally characterised by the traditional biomass-fishery model. Slow growth rates and a long period to sexual maturity make halibut stocks highly vulnerable to excessive fishing mortality, and the economic costs of rebuilding depleted stocks are very high"--Summary, p. vii.
