Bouvet Island, a remote and uninhabited Norwegian dependency in the South Atlantic Ocean, has no established fishing industry due to its extreme isolation, harsh weather conditions, and protected status as a nature reserve. The surrounding waters are part of the Southern Ocean, which is known for species such as Patagonian toothfish, Antarctic icefish, and various species of squid and krill. However, commercial fishing is not permitted in the waters around Bouvet Island, and there is no history of sustained fish catches or fisheries development in this region. The island’s marine environment is primarily significant for scientific research and conservation, rather than for any economic fishing activity.
