Halibut Treaty Halibut Treaty The Halibut Treaty was a 1923 Canadian–American agreement concerning fishing rights in the northern Pacific Ocean. The treaty established the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) as a mechanism for the joint management of the Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) which, at that time, was in severe decline.

The treaty also had a provision for a closed season, so halibut could not be fished during the more dangerous winter
