Most of the data collected by Japan and IPHC contributed to the management decisions of the INPFC and are included in Pereyra et al. (1976). The made a com- prehensive trawl survey between 1957 and 1961 and the information on halibut collected during this period was summarized by Novikov (1964). A joint research program to tag halibut began in 1975 with a cooperative cruise in the western Bering Sea by a vessel with IPHC and scientists on board (IPHC 1976). IPHC has continued releasing tags with legends in English, Japanese, and Russian since 1975. The agreement called for the to conduct a similar program in the western regions. Information gained from this cooperative research will provide a better assessment of the halibut resource. The role that the Bering Sea plays in the life history and distribution of Pacific halibut, although of great importance, is not well understood. Looking at a map of Alaska, one first sees the Bering Sea as a large water mass isolated from the Pacific Ocean by the chain of the Aleutian Islands. In reaUty, the impression of isolation is false, for the many passes between the islands provide passage for Pacific Ocean
