CCAMLR Statistical Bulletin

The Statistical Bulletin is published annually and contains:

• Catch and effort statistics for all fisheries in CCAMLR’s Convention Area
• Catch histories for selected fishery target species
• Trade statistics (landings and exports) of toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides and D. mawsoni)
• Planimetric seabed areas by selected depth intervals in the Convention Area.
• The statistical bulletin is available here (CCAMLR Statistical Bulletin, Vol. 37).

Catch and effort statistics are derived from haul-by-haul catch and effort data reported to the Secretariat. Catches of target species and by-catch taxa are reported as green weight in metric tonnes. CCAMLR's reporting standards for catch and effort statistics support the international standards set by the Coordinating Working Party on Fisheries Statistics (Cooperation).

Trade statistics are derived from the landings and exports of toothfish reported in CCAMLR’s Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS). The CDS covers catches taken from inside and outside the Convention Area. Landings of toothfish caught inside the Convention Area are summarised by subarea and division. Landings of toothfish caught outside the Convention Area are summarised by statistical area only. Exports and re-exports of toothfish product are summarised by Flag state of the fishing vessel, export state and unlading state. Trade statistics are reported for each species of toothfish (D. eleginoides and D. mawsoni) by calendar year since 2000. The geographic location of exported and imported product is used to assign export, re-export and import countries or entities. Landings and exports reported by some countries or entities may include data in respect of their overseas territories. Weights are expressed in metric tonnes, and provided for product weight and estimated green weight.
