The '''[[Antarctic toothfish]]''' is a species of cod icefish native to the [[Southern Ocean]]. It is often mistakenly referred to as an [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] cod, consistent with the misnaming of other notothenioid Antarctic fish as rock cods. The generic name Dissostichus is from the Greek ''dissos'' (twofold) and ''stichu''s (line) and refers to the presence of two long lateral lines, which are very important to the species’ ecology. The common name "toothfish" refers to the presence of biserial dentition in the upper jaw, thought to give it a shark-like appearance.
'''[[MicroCon 2022]]''' was a [[micronation]]al event that occurred from August 4 - 7, 2022 at Sam's Town Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the fourth conference to be held under the [[MicroCon]] banner. The event had initially been planned for Summer of 2021, but was delayed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. It was hosted by [[Westarctica]] and was a major event in the history of [[foreign relations of Westarctica]]. The total attendance figure was 116 people, setting a new record for the largest gathering of micronationalists at that time.


It is mainly caught in the Ross Sea in the austral summer, but has also been recorded from Antarctic coastal waters south of the Indian Ocean sector, in the vicinity of the [[Antarctic Peninsula]], and near the South Sandwich Islands. In November 2010, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified the Ross Sea Antarctic toothfish fishery as a sustainable and well-managed fishery. During the 2013–14 season vessels operating under the Marine Stewardship Certification landed 51.3% of all Antarctic toothfish from the Ross Sea Region and 64.7% of Antarctic toothfish from the [[Amundsen Sea]] sector.
