chalky halibut pictures (605 words)
Overall, chalkiness ranges from over 10 percent in landings from Washington and Oregon, to around 5 to 10% in landings from Canada, to less than 5% in landings from Alaska.
The causes of chalkiness are not well understood, although it is likely that a combination of factors are involved, including exhaustion in the fish (which increases lactic acid in the flesh, and thus overall acidity of the flesh), water or air temperature when captured, and the handling routine on the fishing vessel.
The problem of chalkiness is increased by the fact that the condition may take from 3 to 7 days after death to develop in the flesh.
