The Conservation Measure 41-05 (2024) focuses on regulating the exploratory fishery for Dissostichus mawsoni in Statistical Division 58.4.2 during the 2024/25 season. The fishery is limited to Australia and France, with specific gear requirements such as longlines. The total catch limit for Dissostichus mawsoni in this area is set at 289 tonnes, distributed among different Statistical Sub-areas Research Units (SSRUs). The fishing season runs from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025. Vessels participating in this fishery must have at least two scientific observers on board, one of whom must be appointed according to the CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation. Research blocks with specific coordinates are designated for this fishery, and toothfish tagging is required at a rate of at least five fish per tonne caught. Various conservation measures are in place to protect the environment and mitigate by-catch, including regulations on seabird interactions and data reporting systems for catch and effort monitoring. Biological data collection and reporting follow international scientific observation standards. The text consists of 16 Articles and one Annex.
