Réunion Pêche Australe (RPA), established in 2016 and based in Saint-Pierre, La Réunion, is a French fishing company specializing in the capture of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides), commonly known as légine. The company is a joint venture comprising ENEZ Pêche (part of the REUNIMER group), ATLANTIS (part of the Minatchy group), and the Société des Artisans Pêcheurs Professionnels des Mers Australes (SAPPMA). RPA is one of the authorized French operators permitted to fish in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF) and is committed to sustainable fishing practices. In November 2022, RPA expanded its fleet with the acquisition of the 'Atlas Cove,' a 68-meter vessel equipped for both longline and trawl fishing, enhancing its operational capabilities. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
