Conservation Measure 41-07 (2024) sets regulations for the 2024/25 exploratory longline fishery for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) on BANZARE Bank (Division 58.4.3b) outside national jurisdictions, imposing a total precautionary catch limit of zero tonnes across all Statistical Sub-Research Unit (SSRU) , with the season running from 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025 or until the limit is reached. It mandates compliance with seabird mortality mitigation measures, including night setting after three seabird captures, requires at least one CCAMLR scientific observer aboard each vessel, and enforces detailed daily and monthly catch/effort and biological data reporting. Vessels must also conduct research and tag at least five toothfish per tonne caught, with additional environmental protections under relevant CCAMLR conservation measures.
