Stock managers say Southeast halibut ruling will harm conservation efforts

Halibut regulators say they would have done things differently if they had known a one-fish charter limit would be blocked. The International Pacific Halibut Commission manages the stock. Executive Director Bruce Leaman says the one-fish limit is needed to keep catch rates within projected quotas.  He says the concern is conservation of the species.
