Conservation Measure 41-10 (2024) sets strict limits for the 2024/25 exploratory longline fishery targeting Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in Statistical Subarea 88.2, with specific precautionary catch limits allocated across research blocks and SSRUs, including zero catch for SSRU I. The season runs from December 2024 to August 2025 (later start for SSRU H), and operations must follow CCAMLR rules on by-catch control, seabird mitigation, observer coverage, vessel monitoring, and the catch documentation scheme. Fishing is tied to research, requiring tagging at three fish per tonne, dedicated research hauls, and detailed catch, effort, and biological data collection.
