OBS

The Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources came into force in 1982, as part of the Antarctic Treaty System. It was established mainly in response to concerns that an increase in krill catches in the Southern Ocean could have a serious effect on populations of krill and other marine life; particularly on birds, seals and fish which mainly depend on krill for food. The aim of the Convention is to conserve marine life. This does not exclude harvesting as long as such harvesting is carried out in a rational manner.

OBS

La Convention sur la conservation de la faune et de la flore marines de l'Antarctique est entrée en vigueur en 1982, dans le cadre du Système du traité sur l'Antarctique. Elle a été établie principalement pour faire face aux inquiétudes à l'égard du grand risque d'impact de l'augmentation des captures de krill dans l'océan Austral sur les populations de krill et d'autres organismes marins, notamment les oiseaux, les phoques et les poissons qui dépendent directement du krill pour se nourrir. La Convention a pour objectif de conserver la vie marine, sans toutefois exclure l'exploitation dans les mesures où elle est menée de manière rationnelle.
