The Fisheries Agency has announced that it will forgo negotiations with the Russian side regarding the trial operation of salmon and trout fishing conducted by Japanese fishing vessels in Russia's exclusive economic zone.
Due to the influence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this year's fishing will not be carried out.
In the waters of Russia, as a national project, one private Japanese fishing vessel is conducting a trial operation of salmon and trout fishing, and every spring, the Japanese and Russian governments are negotiating to decide the catch.
On the 24th, the Fisheries Agency announced that it would not negotiate this year.
Due to the postponement of negotiations, the trial operation of this year will not be conducted.
The Fisheries Agency states, "We made a comprehensive decision in consideration of the current situation, urgency, and necessity."
On the other hand, within Japan's exclusive economic zone, negotiations between Japan and Russia were held in April over the fishing of salmon and trout born in Russian rivers, securing the same level of catch quota as the previous year. I'm concluding that.
