On Saturday (15 Dec) the Russian State Fisheries Committee
(Goskomrybolovstvo) concluded talks with South Korea.
South Korea's quota for fishing in Russia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
next year has been reduced to 54,800 tons from 60,500 tons this year. Next
year's quota includes 22,000 tons of Alaska pollock in the Bering Sea,
20,000 tons of saury off the Kurils, 7,300 tons of squid in the Sea of
Japan and 3,000 tons of pollock off the Kurils.
However, South Korea will not be allowed to operate in the Sea of Okhotsk,
as the authorities have closed fishing to third countries in those waters.
Both delegations discussed scientific co-operation issues and agreed to
study saury, pelagic and squid fisheries off the Kurils. The research will
be conducted mainly by Russia with some technical support from South Korea.
Commercial negotiations with South Korea are scheduled for January. These
could result in some mutually beneficial agreements, says Goskomrybolovstvo.
South Korea might take part in the marine resource auctions at the end of
January 2002.
South Korea's deputy marine and fisheries minister, Pak Zhe-Yen, led the
Korean delegation. Yuri Moskaltsov, vice-chairman of Goskomrybolovstvo,
headed the Russian delegation.
