Patagonian toothfish(Dissostichus eleginoides) was investigated in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean during the period of 19 March to 7 July 2007 by commercial bottom longliners. The number of 116 hauls were carried out individually in this study area by two bottom longliners during 111 days. The total catches were 89,559kg(9.91kg/100hooks) and 66,758kg(7.38kg/100hooks), respectively. Most Patagonian toothfishes were caught on the $46-48^{\circ}S$, $6-11^{\circ}E$ of southeastern Atlantic Ocean. Patagonian toothfish comprised 67.01-92.49%(by weight) of the catches in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean. No Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) was caught during the surveys. Patagonian toothfish was found throughout the experimental area, but the density was considerably greater in the layer of 1,300-1,900m, where 49.88% of the fishes were caught. Smaller fishes were generally distributed to the shallow waters and larger fish were more frequently caught with the depth. Mean size of Patagonian toothfish increased with depth of capture. Accordingly economically profitable fishing activities for the Patagonian toothfish fishery requires an understanding of the size distribution of the Patagonian toothfish by depth.

This study used the commercial fishing data of Korean high sea bottom longline vessels in the South West Atlantic Ocean from 2013 to 2019 to identify the distribution of fishing grounds of Korean longline vessels. We estimated the CPUE of the Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides and the changes in its stock status. The fishing grounds of Korean longline vessels were observed to concentrate on the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundary between Argentina, Uruguay, and Falkland owing to the high seas of 41-55 °S in the south and 49-60 °W in the west. A high intensity of fishing was seen in the middle area, which was horizontal from the 3.1 subarea. In all the three subareas, CPUEs have had the tendency to decline since 2013. Although the CPUEs in the 3.2.1-2 subareas were the highest in each subarea, there was no significant difference in each subarea (P>0.05). It is believed that the establishment of a regional fisheries organization or the strengthening of the management of FAO is necessary for the management of Southwest Atlantic fisheries and sustainable fishing, because the portion and scope of Korean longline vessels are very low in the Southwest Atlantic; however, the CPUE is estimated to have declined.

Proximate compositions, fatty acid profiles, and total amino acid compositions of the muscle and liver of Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides were studied. Lipid contents of the muscle and liver of the fish were 22.3% and 35.3%, respectively. Protein content was higher in the fish muscle (12.8%) than in the liver (8.7%). Moisture content was also higher in the muscle (63.6%) than in the liver (49.8%). The prominent fatty acids in the total lipids of the fish muscle and liver were 18:1n-9, 16:0, 20:1n-9, 16:1n-7, 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), 18:1n-7, 22:1n-11, 18:0, and 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA). The fish muscle and liver contained approximately 1,000 to 2,500 mg of DHA and 400 to 600 mg of EPA per 100 g of tissue. Therefore, the fish muscle and liver are good sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. On the other hand, the total amino acid content of the fish was 11.7 g/100 g muscle and 6.53 g/100 g liver. The prominent total amino acids profiles in the fish muscle and liver were glutamic acid, lysine, aspartic acid, leucine, and alanine, which are similar to those in other fishes.

This study investigated the effects of squid Todarodes pacificus liver oil on the serum lipids and adipose tissue weight of rats. The rats in the soybean oil (SO) group received a basic diet prepared according to the recommendations of the American Institute of Nutrition (AIN-93G), with 7% SO as lipid source. The rats in the Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides muscle oil (PTFO) group received 5% PTFO and 2% SO as the lipid source, while the rats in the eco-friendly squid liver oil (EFSO) group received 5% EFSO and 2% SO. EFSO was prepared according to the method outlined in the author's patent. PTFO was extracted from muscle using a physical method in the author's laboratory. The prominent polyunsaturated fatty acids in the dietary oils were 18:2n-6 (54.3%) and 18:3n-3 (5.64%) in SO, DHA (6.77%) and EPA (3.61%) in PTFO, and DHA (26.2%) and EPA (9.94%) in EFSO. After feeding for 4 weeks, the serum lipid levels (e.g., triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) of the rats in the EFSO group were significantly reduced as compared with those in the SO group (P<0.05); those of the rats in the PTFO group were also reduced, albeit not significantly, compared with the SO group. On the other hand, the total white adipose tissue (visceral, epididymal, and perirenal) weight was significantly reduced in the EFSO and PTFO groups compared to the SO group. These results demonstrate that EFSO is an effective lipid modifying agent in rat blood, and that EFSO and PTFO have greater anti-obesity effects than SO.
