HALIBUT At the time of this writing, the 2021 halibut season is in full swing. Demand remains steady for 3A and 2C. 3B continues to be sought after with very little supply available. Ex-vessel prices have strengthend and the expectaion is that they will continue to improve, particularly in comparision to the 2020 season. We expect market activity to remain steady through the spring. The latest is as follows:
AREA
ESTIMATED VALUE
2C $40.00/# - $52.00/# - Increased sales activity, unblocked wanted. 3A $37.00/# - $44.00/# - Low supply of unblocked, steady sales. 3B $23.00/# - $30.00/# - Pent-up demand, sellers wanted. 4A $10.00/# - $15.00/# - Some sales activity at reduced asking prices. 4B - No activity.

4C $10.00/# - $18.00/# - Some activity at reduced asking prices. 4D $10.00/# - $16.00/# - Blocked and unblocked available.
SABLEFISH At the time of this writing, the season is underway and fish are hitting the docks. Quota sales remain relatively steady, with most of the activity focused in CG and BS and some sales of SE. Dock prices remain low but there are beginning to be signs of improvment with increasing global and domestic demand. It is reasonable to speculate that sales could slow down due to the extension of temporary IFQ transfers. The latest is as follows:
AREA
ESTIMATED VALUE
SE - Some recent sales.
$10.00/# - $15.00/#
