The CCAMLR
Convention Area is divided into statistical areas, subareas and divisions,
aiming to keep discrete biological populations within the same area. The three
statistical
areas are: Area
48 (Atlantic Ocean sector), Area 58 (Indian Ocean sector) and Area 88 (Pacific
Ocean sector).
Commercial fishing
of Patagonian toothfish is managed by CCAMLR around most of the sub-Antarctic

Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) are managed by those nations, taking into account

Within the
southwest Indian Ocean, toothfish fisheries are found within Australian, French
and South African EEZs. Licensed vessels are permitted to
fish for Patagonian toothfish in these areas by several methods as follows: |
