Similarly, changes in fishing areas between the Atlantic Southeast and Pacific Southwest have also been noted in recent years.Catches in the Antarctic region (FAO Major Fishing Areas 48, 58 and 88) are reviewed in collaboration with the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).

Official catches increased sharply in 2019 due to data from a Catch Assessment Survey in Lake Albert indicating that catches had more than doubled for most species, partly as a result of the impacts of illegal fishing and increase in fishing pressure. Relatively large increases in capture production from 2004 and 2007 onwards are also due, respectively, to improvements in coverage of the data collection system, and the inclusion of illegal catch estimates and emerging fisheries for new species.
