Overview: The main deep-sea fishery in the Azores is the traditional multispecies fishery using longlines and handlines operating on seamounts. While most of this fishery takes place within the EEZ surrounding the Azores islands, the fishing grounds of the largest vessels extend, to some extent, into international waters, both in the north (NEAFC Regulatory Area) and in the south (Central Eastern Atlantic).
