    Resumen

    This paper presents an update of the metrics of capacity and capacity utilisation presented in WG-SAM 14/19 and WG-FSA 15/09 in order to monitor trends in capacity in exploratory toothfish fisheries in Subareas 88.1 and 88.2. The updated metrics show the same pattern as in previous updates and do not indicate an excess of capacity in the fishery. As previously reported, based on a measure of potential daily fishing capacity and the catch limit for an area the notified fishing capacity in some management areas compromises the ability of the Secretariat to forecast and issue a timely closure notice to reduce the possibility of an overrun using the current fishery forecasting procedure.
