66. Information on the privatization process in Russia is limited. Tlie authors noted that the major former Russian 

 state Fishery Administrations (SEVRYBA, DALRYBA, and SOVRYBFLOT) are now referred to as "associations. " 

 Most of the officials that previously ran these state-owned corporations appear to have management control of the 

 new associations. Insufficient information, however, is available on their current legal status. Some of the vessels 

 transferred to Panamanian and other flag-of-convenience flags may now be owned and operated by new private 

 corporations set up outside Russia by Russian citizens. 



67. "Russian vessels raise 'pirate' flags," Izvestiya, June 4, 1993. Unsubstantiated reports charge that some former 

 Soviet officials have made substantial sums by transferring fishery vessels to foreign owners from the Russian state- 

 owned companies at a fraction of their value. 



68. One 1990 report, for example, described a Taiwan squid jigger with about 20 other Taiwanese vessels. The
