Notes and Explanations
- QSP = Quota Share Pool or Pools; IFQ = Individual Fishing Quota; TAC = Total Allowable Catch
- Halibut QS Use Caps were fixed in February 1997 using 1996 QS Pools.
- Vessel IFQ Caps are calculated on the IFQ TAC only; CDQ TACs are not included in the calculations.
- Halibut weights are expressed in net (headed and gutted) pounds, and sablefish weights are expressed in round pounds.
