The IPHC Harvest Strategy Policy provides a framework for applying a rigorous science-based approach to setting harvest levels for Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) within the Convention Area. It describes Commission objectives, reference points, a management procedure, and responses to specific events. It is supported by the IPHC Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) process ensuring that the application of the Harvest Strategy Policy is robust to uncertainty and will meet Commission objectives. The Commission adopted the IPHC Harvest Strategy Policy in December 2025 and may update this policy document when new and relevant information is available.
