Japan, Russia has signed a fishing agreement despite Ukrainian disputes

Japan and Russia have made an agreement on Tokyo fishing assignment to catch salmon and trout native to Russian rivers, the Japanese fishing association said on Saturday (April 23), despite strained relations with the Ukrainian crisis.

As relations between Russian-Japanese remain unchanged, the conclusion of the annual talks between the two governments this year has put Japanese fishermen living in the northern regions surrounding the disputed islands.

Japan and Russia have reached an agreement on Tokyo’s value in capturing Russian-born salmon and trout, the Japan Fisheries Agency said on Saturday, despite the delay and cool relations between the two sides as Russia invaded Ukraine.

Japan’s contract for the popular marine fish near the disputed islands north of Hokkaido is a relief for Japanese fishermen who were worried about the strained relations between the two governments.

Japan and Russia concluded talks on Friday, setting a target of 2,050 200 tons of salmon and trout this year in Japan’s 200-nautical-mile economic zone, the fisheries agency said in a statement. The quota has not changed since last year, and Japan will pay 200-300 million yen ($ 1.56-2.34 million) in payments depending on the actual catch in Russia.

The agreement will be officially signed on Monday, the organization said. Payments for indigenous Russian fish are stated under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
