halibut fisheries in 2015, using the management measures in place for 
2014 as a baseline. For Area 2C, the baseline management measure is a 
daily limit of one fish less than 44 inches or greater than 76 inches 
in length. For Area 3A, the baseline management measure is a daily 
limit of two fish, one fish of any size, and a second fish which must 
be 29 inches or less in length. Committee recommendations will be 
incorporated into an analysis for Council review in December 2014. The

by the International Pacific Halibut Commission at its January 2015 
meeting, for implementation in 2015.
