Greetings!
My name is Cheryl Barnes and I am a graduate student at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. As part of my master's thesis, I will be
conducting a study, which evaluates the reproductive capabilities of
California Halibut (Paralichthys californicus). More
specifically, I
will estimate and compare growth rates, length and age at maturity and
egg production of
halibut from three central California locations (Half Moon Bay, Monterey Bay
and Morro Bay) to better understand this economically important species
and provide
information for resource management.
If you are interested in donating a carefully-filleted California Halibut carcass (all internal organs intact) and/or providing additional information to help advance this study, please contact:
