The opening date for all hali- but fishing in the Pacific regulatory areas this year was May 12 at 6:00 a. m. In 1954 the opening date was May 16, and Areas 2 and IB in that year also closed June 5 . This means that halibut fishing in Areas 2 and IB this year lasted 24 days as com- pared with 21 days in 1954 (the shortest season on record for these areas), 24 days in 1953, 26 days in 1952, 28 days in 1951, and 32 days in 1950.
