    Abstract

    Data from tagged patagonian toothfish recaptured in the SIOFA area are not usually reported as there are not a tagging program for the fishing vessels operating in the area. Most of the notified recaptures come from fish tagged in the CCAMLR Convention Area. Eleven tagged specimens of patagonian toothfish (D. eleginoides) that have been released in the CCAMLR management area have been recovered by two Spanish vessels fishing in the Indian ocean within the  SIOFA management area. Information about these recaptures is presented.
