redfish stock in Divisions 4R, 4S, and 4T that Canada 

 decides to set aside for vessels based outside the Gulf of 

 St Lawrence. Finally, U.S. vessels have a right to take 

 600 metric tons (MT) of redfish from Subarea 3 stocks. 

 Until the maritime boundary between France and Canada is 

 determined (involving two French islands off the coast of 

 Newfoundland) , the 600 MT must be taken from the stock in 

 Division 3-0 (figure 3). After the determination of that 

 boundary, the United States and Canada may, upon application 

 by the United States, agree to switch the entitlement to the 

 stock in Division 3P. 



The Loligo squid rights of Canadian vessels are limited 

 to the ten year period following entry into force of the 

 Agreement. The stock, located in Division 5Z and Subarea 6, 

 is under the management responsibility of the United States. 

 During the ten-year period Canadian vessels are authorized 

 to catch 9 percent of the PCC. In order to curtail gear 

 conflicts, the United States is authorized to impose more 

 restrictive measures on Canadian vessels than on its own. 

 However, such regulation shall be designed to give Canadian 

 vessels an opportunity to catch the full entitlement with- 

 out undue fishing hardship. 



The northern lobster provision becomes applicable upon 

 determination of the boundary in the Gulf of Maine area. 

 The stock, located in Subarea 4 and 5, is to be under split 

 management: each side will manage the portion in its own
