The toothfish fishing grounds are distributed along the slopes, ridges and banks of the Antarctic continent and sub-Antarctic islands, and fishing depth generally ranges from 1 500 to 1 800 m. In the high seas areas of its Convention Area, CCAMLR manages seven “exploratory” deep-sea bottom longline fisheries targeting toothfish. The seven fisheries correspond to seven management areas in the South Pacific (Eastern Ross Sea Subarea 88.1, Western Ross Sea Subarea 88.2), the South Atlantic Ocean (Bouvet Subarea 48.6) and the South Indian Ocean (Ederby-Wilkes Divisions 58.4.1, 58.4.2, 58.4.3a and 58.4.3b). Other high seas areas in the CCAMLR Convention Area are closed to bottom fishing. The Ross Sea fishery in Subarea 88.1 is the southernmost fishery in the world (Hanchet, Horn and Stevenson, 2003).
