The extensive pressures upon current commercial fisheries, compounded by the projected impacts of climate change and associated processes on marine ecosystems, will increasingly displace elements of future fishing effort towards new locations, target species and techniques. For transboundary stocks, where a new or exploratory fishery is contemplated, Article 6(6) of the UN Fish Stocks Agreement 1995 mandates cautious conservation measures to acquire sufficient catch data to assess the impacts of fishing on the stock and surrounding ecosystem. Thereafter, if appropriate, measures may be adopted to facilitate the gradual development of the fishery and its eventual transition to commercial management. However, there has been minimal analysis of the regulatory requirements for emergent fisheries during this interim stage. This article accordingly collates and evaluates the current international law and practice towards new and exploratory fisheries, with particular reference to Antarctic developments and the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems from proliferating deep-sea fisheries.

预防性管理和未来捕捞机会的发展：新的和探索性渔业的国际规则

当前商业渔业面临的广泛压力，加上气候变化和相关过程对海洋生态系统的预期影响，将越来越多地取代未来捕捞努力的要素，转向新的地点、目标物种和技术。对于考虑进行新的或探索性渔业的跨界种群，1995 年联合国鱼类种群协定第 6 条第 6 款要求采取谨慎的保护措施，以获取足够的捕获数据，以评估捕捞对种群和周围生态系统的影响。此后，如果合适，可以采取措施促进渔业的逐步发展并最终过渡到商业管理。然而，在这个过渡阶段，对紧急渔业的监管要求的分析很少。
