It aims to allow its exploratory bottom longline fishing on a precautionary and gradual basis according to the best available science to meet the following objectives: a) explore the presence and distribution of toothfish in the SPRFMO Convention Area; b) provide information and data contributing towards the sustainable management of potential toothfish stocks in specific, data-poor zones; c) assess the potential for a future sustainable toothfish fishery in specific zones; d) provide occurrence information on marine mammals, seabirds, sharks, skates and rays, etc.; e) understand patterns of seabirds and marine mammals and their potential for interactions with fishing vessels; f) evaluate the potential impacts of longlines on non-target associated or dependent species, and vulnerable marine ecosystems; g) undertake tagging activities on toothfish to enable future studies on the migration of toothfish as well as a preliminary stock assessment. This measure applies to exploratory fishing for toothfish as described in SC8-DW05_Rev2 “European Union proposal for exploratory fishing for Patagonian and Antarctic toothfish within the SPRFMO Convention area, 2021-2023”.
