COLTO members have been fishing for toothfish in the Ross Sea for the past 15 years.
The New Zealand Seafood Industry Council, representing NZ toothfish operators in COLTO, have prepared the attached information sheet to contribute to conversations surrounding sustainable fishing operations in the Ross Sea region.
The information sheet provides basic data on Antarctic Toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) as well as some clarification on the percentage of open and closed areas to fishing that currently exist in the Ross Sea.
It also highlights some of the findings of Ross Sea independent research, and CCAMLR stock assessments, which show no evidence of declining trends in abundance or catch rate of toothfish through the Ross Sea region, and little or no impacts on dependent species and the ecosystem.

Abstract:
In compliance with CM 31-02 (General Measure for the closure of all fisheries) paragraph 6, this paper reports on the investigation carried out by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office into the actions of the UK-flagged fishing vessel Argos Georgia which was unable to remove all its fishing gear from the water prior to the notified closure of SSRU C, sub-area 88.1 on 13 December 2011 at 2400 hours UTC, due to adverse weather and sea-ice conditions. The investigation deemed the actions of the Argos Georgia to be both responsible and fully compliant with CCAMLR requirements.
