is 
2. U.S. salmon fishing effort in the contiguous zone 
off most of Vancouver Island was eliminated. Sport fishing 
by U.S. nationals is not affected if they comply with Canadian 
regulations. 
3. Consultations to regulate fisheries in the Strait 
of Juan de Fuca and Northern Puget Sound are to be held as 
necessary. i 
4, U.S. fishing days for king (chinook) salmon and 
dog (chum) salmon near Point Roberts are to be coordinated 
with Canadian seasons for the lower Fraser River. 
5. Limited blackcod fishing is permitted for each 
country in the Pacific reciprocal areas. 
6. A limited tuna catch by Canada is permitted off the 
U.S. Atlantic coast in the reciprocal area. 
7. Large U.S. trawlers are not permitted where comparable 
Canadian trawlers are prohibited off the Atlantic Coast of 
Canada. ” 
Point (7) of the Reciprocal Fishing Privileges Agreement states: 
(7) Nothing in this Agreement shall prejudice the claims 
or views of either of the parties concerning internal waters, 
territorial waters, or jurisdiction over fisheries or the 
resources of the continental shelf; further, nothing in this 
Agreement shall affect either bilateral or multilateral agree- 
ments to which either Government is party. 
This point explicitly recognizes that the jurisdictional limits set 
in the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 will take 
precedence over those set in the Reciprocal Fishing Privileges 
Agreement. The latter agreement would therefore have to be renego- 
tiated under Section 201. Foreign Fishing of FCMA. 
Cl U.S.-Japan Agreement Concerning Certain Fisheries Off the Coast 
of the United States

Japan agreed to: 
take necessary measures to ensure that the nationals and vessels 
of Japan will not engage in fishing...in the waters which are 
contiguous to the territorial sea of the United States of 
America and extend to a limit of twelve nautical miles from the 
baseline from which the United States territorial sea is measured.
