Our process
We harvest toothfish using the bottom-set autoline fishing method
- We set three to four lines per day
- To elude birds, weight-integrated lines are deployed to quickly sink out of reach of foraging birds
- A streamer line deployed from the stern of the vessel keeps birds away from bait and hooks
- We deploy our gear at depths of 750m to 2,000m
- There are 3,000 to 5,000 hooks per line…
- …with 1.4 metres between each hook
- Two independent scientific observers oversee our operations to check that our process complies with rigorous fishery standards
- The fish are immediately cleaned, packed and blast frozen for maximum quality
