Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, especially the landing of an estimated five to six times more Patagonian toothfish than the regulated fishery, likely affects the sustainability of the stock.
As actividades pesqueiras ilegais, as non reguladas e as non declaradas, especialmente as capturas de pescada negra patagónica ou pescada austral (estímase que se pesca cinco ou seis veces máis do regulado), probabelmente están afectando á sostibilidade das especies.
