Summary: | Fishing activity from Jan 2003–Mar 2007 on the Orphan Knoll, and the Newfoundland, New England and Corner Rise seamounts was assessed using information from VMS, observer records and catch and effort databases. There was no evidence of commercial fishing on Orphan knoll, and only a few probable exploratory tows on Newfoundland seamount. Limited commercial fishing was observed on the New England and Corner Rise seamounts with evidence that one seamount within the Corner Rise seamounts area closure was repeatedly fished over successive seasons. |
