Abstract: Fishing for toothfish in Antarctic waters started in the 1980s. Large amounts of illegal and unregulated fishing were observed in the mid-1990s, reaching 4 times the regulated catch in 1997. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources has adopted a number of Conservation Measures to control this illegal fishing. The Catch Document Scheme, adopted in 1999, which aims to reduce unregulated fishing through trade-related measures, is described in detail.
