Pirate fishing in the Southern OceanOver the last six years there has been a rapidly escalating problem of pirate fishing for Dissostichus eleginoides (Patagonian toothfish) in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Pirate fishing occurs mostly within the area managed under the 23-member Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) and the subantarctic EEZs of some member states. CCAMLR meets annually in Hobart, Australia. The members of CCAMLR are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, European Community, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, and Uruguay. CCAMLR’s objective is the conservation of Antarctica’s marine living resources. It was formed in response to concerns that unregulated fishing of Antarctic species, especially krill, could result in irreversible damage to the populations of other species in the Antarctic marine ecosystem.
