96. U.S. Embassy. Sofia, 29 September 1993. The 1979 agreement is apparently no longer valid since the 

 Bulgarians are not permitted to fish inside the Russian 200-mile zone in the Barents Sea. The Bulgarian fishermen, 

 however, continue to fish in the Barents Sea, but in its international waters rather than in the Russian 200-mile zone. 



97. V.V. Revnivtsev. "Poisk Optimal'noi Strukturi SP," Rybnoe KJioziaistvo (Moscow), No. 1, 1993. Although 

 the Russian source specifically mentions that the Feniks only "receives and processes the fish from Kamchatkan 

 fishermen, " Bulgarian catch statistics, provided by OKEANSKl RIBOLOV, show a 1991 and 1992 catch of Alaska 

 pollock (803 t in 1991 and 410 t in 1992). Tlie Alaska pollock could only have been caught in the Russian 200-mile 

 zone or the nearby international waters of the "peanut hole", since the species is only harvested in the North 

 Pacific. Tlie FAO stafistics for Bulgaria, however, show no Alaska pollock catch for those years. The discrepancy 

 could not be explained with available data.
