Lingcod exports from the United States have increased substantially in the past few years, rising from 7,021 kilos during the first nine months of last year to 40,192 kilos during the same time period this year, with the value rising right along with it to $100,303 (€78,265), accofding to the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Although the overall value of lingcod exports may not come close to being able to compete with halibut, which made $38.6 million (€30.12 million) for US exporters during the same time period, it is certainly faring better.
