more>> <<less Overview: Over the past few years, the primary areas of international waters where deep-sea bottom trawl fisheries take place are the Northwest Challenger Plateau and the Lord Howe Rise in the Tasman Sea. More recently, a fishery for orange roughy has developed on the West Norfolk Ridge, in the northern Tasman Sea. Deep-sea trawling also takes place on the Louisville Ridge, east of the New Zealand EEZ. The South Tasman Rise, south of the Australian EEZ, was heavily fished over the past decade (Gianni, 2004). In the past few years the orange roughy fishery in this area has declined to very low levels and the fishery in the high seas area was recently (in 2007) closed by the Governments of New Zealand and Australia to their vessels (Clark et al., 2007; New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries, 2007). These areas are all located in the southern portion of the South West Pacific Ocean. Most of the reported catch in recent years has been taken by New Zealand and Australian vessels (Gianni, 2004; Clark, 2008).
