Description

‍This calculator estimates the weight of an Atlantic Halibut based on its length, providing a quick and easy way to gauge the size of your catch. Simply enter the fish’s length in centimeters, and the calculator will give you an approximate weight in kilograms, perfect for both anglers and aquaculture professionals.

‍

Atlantic Halibut are a prized catch in Norway, known for their large size, with some individuals exceeding 2 meters in length. Norwegian fishing regulations enforce both a minimum size ("minstemål") and a maximum size ("maxmål") to protect the halibut population. Halibut under 80 cm must be released, as well as large specimens over 200 cm, ensuring sustainable fishing practices are followed.

‍

Developed using verified length-to-weight conversion data, this tool is designed for ease of use, whether you’re practicing catch-and-release or managing stock in aquaculture. While the weight estimate is not precise, it provides a reliable approximation to help you make informed decisions, all while minimizing harm to the fish.
