It was followed by commercial exploitation by a Russian fleet until 1996. Since 2004, four Spanish vessels have been fishing with pelagic trawl gear in the Corner Rise Seamounts area. Fishing effort and catches by species have been reported to the NAFO Scientific Council by seamount (González-Costas and Lorenzo, 2007).
