7 French flagged ships, all
registered in TAAF are legally
allowed to fish in these
zones and unload their
catches in Reunion Island.
Strict rules and regulations
are set by the TAAF
administrations to fish in
these zones:
 Each vessel must have a
fish controller on board.
 Fishing season runs from
September 1 to August
31 each year. The ships
make 3 to 4 fishing trips
during each season.
Complementary to their work as
fishermen, the crews are strongly involved in the protection of
the resource & the environment
and fight against IUU fishing.

In November 2002, 6 ship
operators formed a union
named SARPC (Syndicat des
Armements Réunionnais de
Palangriers Congélateurs), an
independent member of the
UAPF union (Union des
Armateurs à la Pêche de
France), whose aim is to
work together on the
perpetuation of the resource
and the protection of the
environment. In 2013,
SARPC created the Southern
Seas Companies Foundation
to manage their environmental research projects in
the Southern Ocean.
