CCAMLR Conservation Measure 41‑01 (2025) sets season‑long rules for exploratory longline and trawl fisheries targeting Dissostichus spp., defining applicable areas, haul and reporting requirements, and the objective of broad‑scale data collection while preventing concentrated effort, with by‑catch and discard controls. It mandates small-scale research unit (SSRU) closures once combined catch limits are reached, requires observers, full implementation of the Data Collection Plan, Research Plan and Tagging Program (including double‑tagging and proportional tagging rates), and assigns vessels and Flag States responsibilities for tagging, sampling, haul separation, soak‑time rules and timely electronic reporting, with the Secretariat managing notifications on catch limits and SSRU closures.
