For the purpose of this TAC, the area open to the fishery is specified as that portion of FAO statistical division 58.5.2 that lies within the area enclosed by a line:

starting at the point where the meridian of longitude 72° 15′ E intersects the Australia-France Maritime Delimitation Agreement Boundary then south along the meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 53° 25′ S,

then east along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 74° E,

then northeasterly along the geodesic to the intersection of the parallel of latitude 52° 40′ S and the meridian of longitude 76° E,

then north along the meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 52° S,

then northwesterly along the geodesic to the intersection of the parallel of latitude 51° S with the meridian of longitude 74° 30′ E, and
