Japan and Russia have reached an agreement over Tokyo’s annual catch quota for Russian-born salmon and trout, the Japanese Fisheries Agency said, despite delays and chilled relations between the two sides amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
A salmon and trout fishing boat is seen at a fishing port in Nemuro, northern Japan island of Hokkaido in April 2016. Japan and Russia have reached an agreement over Tokyo’s annual catch quota for Russian-born salmon and trout, the Japanese Fisheries Agency said Saturday, April 23, 2022, despite delays and chilled relations between the two sides amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The agreement on Japan's quota for the popular fish in waters near disputed islands north of Hokkaido is a relief for Japanese fishermen who were worried about the prospects amid worsening ties between the two governments. The deal will be formally signed Monday, the agency said. The payment for the fish of Russian origin is stipulated under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The agreement only settles the quota within Japan's economic zone, but Japan still needs to negotiate a quota within the Russian EEZ.
