Fishing
The main area where we catch Patagonian Toothfish is the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Chile, located south of Parallel 47°. Additionally, we operate in international waters of the South Atlantic and have participated in exploratory fisheries in Antarctica.
Fishing
Method
Fishing methods is the technique used for catching fish. Globalpesca utilizes the “longline with “cahcalotera”” method, which consists of a horizontal mainline of 18mm (backbone), from which 8mm branch lines (snoods) extend. Each snood has a cluster of hooks attached, as well as a weight to sink and position the snood.
It is used at great depths (2,000 to 3,000 meters) with an approximate extension of 10 nautical miles in length.
LONGLINE with CACHALOTERA
Our longline with “cachaloteras” is designed to protect the species when the hauling maneuver begins, and it also prevents birds from feeding on the bait as the line is set from the stern of the vessel, without harming the local fauna.
This fishing method has a high level of precision and a lower impact on the seabed compared to other bottom fishing methods. This precision results in virtually no bycatch.

Quotas
Quota setting is determined by the Undersecretary of Fisheries based on recommendations and studies conducted by the Scientific Technical Committee and the Fisheries Development Institute. Fishing rights are publicly auctioned for periods of ten years, and annually there is a tender for approximately 10% of the total. In addition, a separate public tender is held each year for artisanal and industrial fisheries.
For Patagonian Toothfish, internationally, Chile fishes approximately 13% of the global quota. 100% of the national quota is distributed between the north and south of the country, with approximately 48% and 52% respectively. Of that 52%, 30% is allocated for artisanal fishing and the remaining 70% for industrial fishing. Thus, Globalpesca has a catch quota that represents around 36% of the industrial quota determined for the area south of the 47th parallel.
