APPENDIX VI APPENDIX VI 
f) Prohibition of the use of fishing gear and of other 
equipment considered by SUDEPE to have destructive 
effects on stocks; 
g) Prohibition of discharging oil and organic waste. 
Under Annex II, the United States agreed to take the following 
measures in the area defined: 
a) Not more than 325 vessels flying the United States flag 
shall fish for shrimp in the area of agreement and the 
United States Government undertakes to maintain a 
presence of not more than 160 of those vessels in the 
area at any one time. Such vessels shall be of the same 
type and have the same gear as those commonly employed 
in this fishery in the past, noting that electric 
equipment for fishing purposes has not been commonly 
employed by boats in this fishery in the past. 
b) Shrimp fishing in the area of agreement shall be limited 
to the period from March 1 to November 30. 
c) Shrimp fishing in that part of the area of agreement 
southeast of a bearing of 240° from Ponta do Ceu radio- 
beacon shall be limited to the period March 1 to July l. 
d) Transshipment of catch may be made only between vessels 
authorized under this Agreement to fish in the area of 
agreement. 
Since this agreement deals only with the waters off the Brazilian 
coast, the passage of the Fishery Conservation and Management Act 
is likely to have a minimal impact, especially since the United States 
has already "noted" the much wider jurisdiction of Brazil. 
B. U.S. - Canadian Agreement on Reciprocal Fishing Privileges in 
Certain Areas Off the Coasts of the United States and Canada 
In renegotiating the Reciprocal Fishing Privileges Agreement in 
1973, primary emphasis was placed on the origin of the anadromous 
stock as a basis for determination of a state's jurisdiction over 
the right to fish. The 1973 agreement contained the following 
provisions: 
1. Canadian salmon fishing in the U.S. contiguous fishery 
zone south of Carroll Island at 48° 3' North Latitude off the 
coast of Washington was prohibited.
