	Sablefish
		Sablefish grow rapidly; mature females reach an average length of 55 cm and a maximum of 80 cm.
		Sablefish were first harvested as bycatch of domestic groundfish fisheries where much of the catch was either discarded or sold for very low prices.
		In Canada, the sablefish fishery is co-managed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and the Canadian Sablefish Association, an organization representing commercial sablefish licence-holders.

	NOAA Fisheries Approves Program to Make West Coast Sablefish Harvest Safer, More Efficient (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		West Coast commercial fishermen harvesting sablefish may find their job safer, more efficient and a bit more profitable, thanks to important changes to how the fishery is managed, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA fisheries) announced today.
		While every vessel needs a permit to fish for sablefish, previously it could be assigned only one, creating a fishery with lots of vessels (an estimated 165 in 2000), each with its own permit and with only a tiny slice of the sablefish pie.
		While the overall quotas for sablefish will stay the same as they would have under the old system, under the permit-stacking program, vessel owners can buy or sell their permits.

	Community Purchase of Halibut and Sablefish Individual Fishing
		Those that designed and implemented the halibut and sablefish IFQ program are correct in clarifying that their motives were not to harm rural communities and that IFQs were intended as a fisheries management program and not a "social program".
		Limited issuance of halibut and sablefish IFQ to residents of smaller coastal communities, the subsequent loss of harvesting and processing sector jobs, as well as the continuing transfer of quota share all contributed to an eroding economic base for Gulf of Alaska rural coastal communities.
		Nevertheless, fishermen with quota shares in area 2C for halibut and "southeast" for sablefish h recognize that about half of the qualifying smaller fisheries-dependent coastal communities are in these areas, and some stakeholders voice concern about the remote possibility that approximately 20 communities may purchase their 1% individual limit exclusively from Area 2C.
