《南极海洋生物资源保护公约》（《南极海生公约》）是主导南大洋海洋生物开发的法律的学说。在最近的委员会（CCAMLR）会议上，一些成员国将公约文本中的“合理使用”一词解释为“不受限制的捕鱼权”，最近，该词被引用来反对建立海洋保护区。在南极海洋生物资源保护委员会的长期解释的紧张局势进行跟踪和介绍。公开的条约谈判记录也探讨了该词的含义和原意。根据谈判文件以及《南极海洋生物资源保护公约》，“合理利用”一词并不意味着无条件地开发南大洋海洋生物的权利。就像“科学的不确定性”一样，它也以反映社会价值的方式被唤起，“合理使用”应该被视为一个充满价值的术语，而不是一个明确的捕鱼任务。
The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CAMLR Convention) is the legal doctrine presiding over the exploitation of marine life in the Southern Ocean. At recent Commission (CCAMLR) meetings, some member states have interpreted the term ‘rational use’ in the Convention text as ‘the unrestricted right to fish' and, most recently, the term has been evoked in opposition to the establishment of marine protected areas. Tensions over interpretation of the term at CCAMLR are tracked and presented. The term's meaning and original intent are also explored in the publicly available record of treaty negotiations. According to negotiation documents as well as the CAMLR Convention, the term ‘rational use' does not imply an unconditional right to exploit marine life in the Southern Ocean. Like ‘scientific uncertainty,' which has also been evoked in ways that reflect social values, ‘rational use' should be seen as a value-laden term, rather than as an explicit mandate to fish.
