more>> <<less Overview: The fishery for Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) in Subarea 48.3 began in the 1980s and expanded rapidly during the early 1990s, when considerable illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) catches were also taken (Table 1). The initial fishery also caused high rates of incidental bird mortality, with relatively large numbers of albatrosses and petrels attracted to the baited hooks and being caught and drowned. In response to these issues, CCAMLR introduced strict regulations designed to reduce bird by catch. These regulations, including seasonal closures, streamer lines, line-weighting regimes and night setting requirements, greatly reduced bird by-catch in this fishery. The current toothfish fishery uses demersal longlines in which lines of baited hooks are deployed close to the sea floor at depths down to 2,250 m.
