Summary: The potential of marine fisheries stocks in the Beaufort Sea to support commercial fisheries is unknown at present. I propose to develop the local expertise to conduct offshore winter fisheries for greenland halibut (turbot) using long-line techniques, and to assess the potential of any stocks present to support a commercial fishery. Data will be collected to assess stock characteristics pertine...
