    Abstract

    Assessment of the Patagonian toothfish (D. eleginoides) in Subarea 48.3 indicates that the current status of the stock is at 51% of B0. Spawning biomass has been increasing in recent years. Projections indicate that a constant catch of 2 600 tonnes in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons would be consistent with the CCAMLR decision rule.
