Commercial, sport, and subsistence are three separate fisheries for halibut that are governed by separate regulations. Commercial halibut fishermen must comply with IFQ or CDQ Program regulations (see 50 CFR 679), and sport halibut fishermen must comply with State and Federal sport fishing regulations.
