Page "Patagonian toothfish" Paragraph 8

Commercial fishing of toothfish is managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources ( CCAMLR ) inside the CCAMLR Convention Area which spans the Antarctic continent and waters between 45 ° S and 60 ° S.

Some fisheries inside territorial waters within the Convention Area ( e. g. Crozet Island, Prince Edwards and Marion Islands ) are managed separately by countries with territorial waters taking CCAMLR management practices into account.

Toothfish fisheries outside the CCAMLR Convention Area in the coastal waters of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay are managed by the relevant coastal state.

However, these fisheries are still subject to the CCAMLR Catch Documentation Scheme ( CDS ) which tracks the trade of toothfish from the point of unloading to the point of final consumption.
