Halibut Broodstock Trips...

I may be available next week. Not entirely sure just yet. It would also be a good excuse for me to go ahead and sign up for CCA.

Out of curiosity, do size limits apply when harvesting broodstock, or do you pretty much take what you find?

I would make every assumption that size limits to apply.

Plus I'm sure there is a preferred size that the team is looking for to get the best breeding stock possible.

Size limits do not apply when taking under a scientific permit, which is what is going on here. The HSWRI staff do have a preferred minimum size as it makes it easier to sex them and acclimate them to tank living. ie, the bigger the better.

The scientific permit is also the reason why no bycatch is allowed to be kept.
