Information about vertical distribution of temperature, bottom temperature variability, spatial temperature changes, inter-annual temperature variability, water masses and relationship of temperature with catches of toothfish in Weddell, Ross and Amundsen Seas are presented. Some conclusions were made why Ross Sea is characterized by the highest catches of toothfish per effort.
