    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to review the management of the Ross Sea toothfish fishery and progress made under the 2014 medium-term research plan (MTRP). The paper focuses primarily on Antarctic toothfish, as catches of Patagonian toothfish are negligible, and covers Subarea 88.1 and Subarea 88.2 SSRUs 88.2A and B. We begin by summarising the management and operation of the fishery from 2014 to 2022, commencing when the last review ended. We then review progress made towards achieving the objectives of the 2014 MTRP.
