As COLTO members we have a direct commercial interest in the well-being of Patagonian toothfish and the ecosystems that support them.

To ensure sustainable commercial fishing we recognize that effective management, surveillance and enforcement of toothfish fisheries is vital.

We are keen to work with governments, other industries, conservation groups and the public to make sure legal operations are protected and illegal fishing is eliminated.

As commercial operators we are reliant on the health of toothfish fisheries.
