There is no commercial fishing south of 60 degrees South Latitude, according to the Antarctic Treaty which governs that part of earth.
Researchers, however, may capture fish, move them into indoor salt-water tanks, and then study them to learn more about the health of planet earth.
Most often, these animals are released back into the sea.
