    Abstract

    Interactions between longliners, fishing for Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides in the west of Kerguelen islands during 1995 - 96 cruise, and marine mammals occured with Kerguelen Fur Seals Arctocephalus gazella. They catch 0.75 % of toothfish on long-lines where interaction occured, but 2.2 % were lost alongside the vessel.
