If the salt water is liquid, it may be as warm as 28 degrees F. This is often warmer than the ambient air over it.
The temperature of the South Ocean's waters can fall as low as 27 degrees F, based on the mineral content of the water, which prevents its freezing at 32 degrees F.
Antarctica is melting and the waters are rising. as the waters continue to rise from Antarctica melting. It will take homes and cities and that will lead to lots of deaths.
The ocean that extends from Antarctica to 60 degrees south latitude is the Southern Ocean. It is the newest recognized ocean, officially designated by the International Hydrographic Organization in 2000. It surrounds Antarctica and is known for its strong currents and cold waters.

Whaling is banned by the Antarctic Treaty, south of 60 degrees S. This includes the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica.
Antarctica
Antarctica is colder than the arctic because it is a continent with high elevation, which is about 2,800 meters above sea level. The continent is considered a heat-sink for planet earth. Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic.

There's nothing 'wrong' with fishing anywhere. However, in Antarctic waters -- south of 60 degrees S -- it is forbidden by the Antarctic Treaty. Note that Antarctica is the name of a continent, and fish are sea animals.
Yes, in the waters surrounding Antarctica, which is a continent.
The coordinates 20 degrees south and 178 degrees east indicate a location in the South Pacific Ocean, east of New Zealand and north of Antarctica. These coordinates are often associated with the waters near Fiji or Tonga.
