An undeclared catch was found after a Russian inspection in the waters around the northern territory of the No. 68 Shoyo Maru fishing boat belonging to the cod belonging to the Habumai Fishing Cooperative in Nemuro City, Hokkaido on March 15 this month. Was taken to Kunashiri Island.
A Russian court on Tuesday confirmed that fishing boats found more than 1100 kilograms of catches, such as rays, not listed in the logbook, and fined the fishing boat captain for approximately 12 yen in Japanese yen for violating the fishing rules. Ordered payment of 10,000 yen.
The Russian Border Protection released the fishing boat shortly after 10 am on May 20 after confirming a payment equal to the fine.
