Within each of the populations there are uncertainties in regard to the substructure.

A unique stock distributed from California to Bering Sea was considered for assessment by the US in consequence of a tagging study performed by Kaimmer and Geernaert (2004) but more recent research has been concluding the existing of a heterogeneous structure in the region (Hauser et al., 2007; Nielsen et al., 2010; Seitz et al., 2011).

According to Novikov (1963) there are two populations of Pacific halibut above Aleutian Islands, one on NW Bering Sea West to 180º W and the second one East to 180º W including Bristol Bay. In Russia, the W Bering Sea and Karaginsky stocks are assessed and managed separately.
