SITKA, ALASKA Despite the steady downward trend in the commercial harvest recently, the International Pacific Halibut Commission in the last two years has not made cuts as large as recommended by their staff scientists. That practiced ended this year, and the Commission approved significant decreases for most fishing areas in the Gulf of Alaska.
