Very clean and very professional operation. It is no wonder these fish cost as much as they do in the US market. These fish cannot be beat for their flavor and texture.
Hell of a job. Seems something of a shame when that big one there was probably a 30 year old fish. MSC is all very well but they don't really understand the breeding and life cycle of a fish that lives in the depths of the Southern Ocean - just look at the Orange Roughy. Fished like hell then suddenly, woops, this thing doesn't get mature until its 30 years old. Sorry about that. I suppose at least the Aussies try and follow the rules, unlike the Russians, Koreans and Chinese who just rape the oceans.... Its easy to educate yourself and avoid these species. You won't make any difference but you'll feel better
Fished over 35yrs &8 in Bering Sea, fishing on freezer boats 4 Black Cod. We panned our fish according to size 36lb. bricks. Very tough fisheries & baited all by hand lol. A short day was 18hrds. & long was 26. All this 4 the girls I would say. Anyway 30days straight & my longest trip was 48 & longest work day was 56hrs straight ( heavy on the W O R K ) mY BIGGEST TRIPS 86,000LBS. ROUND IN 3DAYS, 56,000 DRESSED IN 2 WITH 6,100LBS. HALIBUT. So I know hard work & fishing is hard work, that's why they call it fishing & not catching ROTDLMMAO
Roger Ness fishing is hard work . The ones that bitch your catches and set the regulations don't know how to fish,and they sit at a desk thinking they're important.
Hi Ray, the line in shot from the stern on this vessel, hauled on the starboard side. Automatic grading a bit too hard with the large variety and some much larger fish. Average size around 11 kg
Hi Matty, there are contact details on our website, feel free to shoot us an email. When we are looking for new crew, we just require that they have had demersal longline experience and have the relevant tickets, etc.
One tough profession in one of the prettiest locations on the planet. I did not expect so much still manual work to be involved, and the risk of serious injury is always present. Think about that when having your next fish burger !
Carl toothfish have never been endangered - some fisheries were fished at unsustainable levels in the late 90's / early 2000's by illegal fishers but this has now improved and over 50% of the world's toothfish is certified as sustainble. The Australian Heard Island fishery that we fish in has been independently certified as sustainable and well managed by the Marine Stewardship Council and rated as a 'Best Choice' fishery by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program.
I'm not sure about the payment in other countries but I earn almost 10k USD Pretty on avarage on a 5 week trip. I work on a longliner that fishes cod/haddock mainly
can anyone tell me how to apply to get this kind of job i want to get out of the land to go at the ocean and do fishing i love fishing all my life i alway want to be a fisher man lmk plz
def better than deadliest catch,,, but,,, the reason why they dont show this type of thing on American TV, is that Americans are bleeding heart people and would Freak out, if they showed processing of fish , killing etc,,,, I mean their willing to eat it,, but,, god forbid they see how its processed,,,lol,,
+The Proliners correct. There is no size limit in this fishery. However Marine Reserves (no take zones) are in place that set aside around 40% of grounds less than 1000m in depth, as juveniles prefer shallower water.
+Johnny Butt Toothfish is not an endangered species. Australian Government released a report into the use of longlines in this fishery, and found that less than 1% of the sea floor had interaction with fishing gear since the fishery began in 1997www.australfisheries.com.au/2014/08/15/15th-august-2014-deep-sea-cameras-reveal-limited-impact-of-fishing-around-heard-island/
+Johnny Butt what are the concerns? the by catch in this fishery is low and total take as a proportion of total population is low. Good on you for only eating what you catch, but you've gotta remember the areas you fish are some of the most exploited fishing grounds going, simply by virtue of them being easily accessed. Fisheries like the southern bluefin tuna long line fishery defiantly has 'serious ethical concerns' but arctic toothfish? Probably one of the best in the world.
Anyone who earns their living in the Southern Ocean deserves a *massive* dose of respect. Well played guys.
Life in the Furious Fifties & beyond. Hardcore. Wish I could' ve gotten down there in my time!
The much publicised Crab Fisherman of the Bering Sea could take a page out of the books of these guys.
Respect to these guys who work alone on such dangerous and unpredictable sea!

What exactly is a toothfish? Is it a Pacific Cod or what? It looks somewhat like a cod but different color and shape.
It has been renamed for sale in the U.S. as Chilean Sea Bass. Similar to Orange Roughy which is actually a member of the Slimehead family.
In Maine we call it Wolf Fish
It's a type of fish that lives in the Antarctic. Their value is very high I believe, some ships have toothfish onboard cashing up around 41 million.

Great film!
Why is the line shot on the port side of the vessel? And why is there no automatic grading system?:)

Toothfish are now an endangered fish now. Very much overfished.

Well, I am very pleased to hear this. Thank You for replying to my comment and setting the record straight in this regard.
Not by Austral' s pal.
Remember when Orange Roughy were "under fished"? Everywhere long liners go they decimate the fish populations. The Baja fishery may never recover.
What are the heads like Bro
It all looks like very hard work.
How long is the average trip and how much is each person average crew share? great video.

Deadliest catch is a good show

them boys earn there money!
That's the problem us humans are good for. Take take take
Auto baiter? Lol. I reckon. One day we won't even need someone to drive the boat.
Everything is automatic..This is NOT real fishermen..Just guys with a job.
+Allan Knudsen The spanish system fishing is more hard, for real fishermen.
+Pape Lina . Spanish fishing system are for woman and pussies.
***** Homeless!!!
A job in the Antarctic, working around the clock amongst industrial processes.Sounds worthy of a fisherman to me. What the fuck do Knudsen ?
Omg!
E che mareeee
This is what you get if you don't finish school. Frozen fish wrestler.
Good
