Last updated: July 2026 dataToothfish (Dissostichus spp.) — marketed commercially as Chilean sea bass — is among the most tightly regulated seafood imports, subject to both NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program and the CCAMLR catch documentation scheme, which requires a catch document issued by the flag state for every shipment. Chile is the dominant supplier, followed by Argentina and Spain, reflecting the species' concentration in Southern Ocean and sub-Antarctic fisheries. Importers must present a valid CCAMLR Dissostichus Catch Document (DCD) at entry; shipments lacking this document are inadmissible regardless of other compliance.

The CCAMLR Dissostichus Catch Document (DCD) is an internationally recognized traceability instrument issued by the flag state of the harvesting vessel. US law requires it for all toothfish imports to combat IUU fishing in Antarctic waters; NOAA verifies DCDs at entry, and shipments without a valid document are refused.
Chilean sea bass is a marketing name, not a biological one; the correct species names are Dissostichus eleginoides (Patagonian toothfish) and Dissostichus mawsoni (Antarctic toothfish). FDA's seafood labeling regulations require use of an accepted market name, and both species are covered under this heading. Importers should confirm the accepted name on commercial invoices to avoid labeling disputes.
