This annual TAC is for exploratory fisheries only. Fishing shall be limited to one trip of a maximum duration of 60 consecutive days which may occur any time between 1 May and 15 November 2023. From 1 to 15 November 2023, longlines shall be set at night-time only and all fishing shall cease immediately if the death of the following occurs:
(a) one of any of the following species: wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans), grey-headed albatross (Thalassarche chrysostoma), black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris), grey petrel (Procellaria cinerea), soft-plumaged petrel (Pterodroma mollis); or
(b) three individuals of any of the following species: light-mantled albatross (Phoebetria palpebrata), southern giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus) and northern giant petrel (Macronectes halli).
Fishing shall further be limited to a maximum number of 5000 hooks per set, with a maximum of 120 sets. Longlines shall be set at least 3 nautical miles apart from each other, and not set at previous longline locations within one calendar year. Fishing shall cease either when the TAC is reached or if 120 sets have been set and hauled during the trip, whichever is earlier. Fishing shall be limited to depths between 600 m and 2500 m and only take place within the following research block:
