    Abstract

    This paper proposes extending the fishing season in the Patagonian toothfish longline fishery in CCAMLR statistical division 58.5.2 on a trial basis during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 fishing seasons by a further two weeks. This would increase the fishing season to include the period from 1 to 14 November as part of the post-season extension with day/night setting allowed.
