ENDNOTES 



1. Mr. Birger Larsen, Fisheries Attache, Royal Norwegian Embassy, Washington, D.C. notes that the term "high- 

 seas" is not appropriate for the Norwegian fleet which mostly fishes in coastal waters. He did note that some 

 Norwegian vessels fish in distant waters.

18. A vessel identified as the Petr Iljin was registered in Cyprus in 1993. The vessel was built in Norway in 1992 

 and registered 1,919-GRT. The authors suspect that this was one of the vessels delivered to the Liberian firm and 

 may have been renamed or it may be one vessel instead of the reported 2 vessels. 



19. The vessels were apparently destined for Russian fisheries.
