fishing regions reserved in accordance with Article 
I to each country. 
Art. IV. In engaging in fishing the fishermen 
of both countries must remember that, when a 
fishing ground has been taken up and the tackle 
is properly marked, the occupant is not to be 
driven away or suffer any encroachment in his 
fishing by other fishers as long as his tackle is 
properly marked and he uses it for fishing. 
If fishing tackle is placed or drifts upon the 
properly marked tackle of another fisherman, or 
if a seine is so dragged as to injure properly 
marked tackle, the owner of such tackle shall be 
entitled to damages from the person who has 
caused him such injury, provided the damage was 
not caused by unavoidable necessity or other 
cause which can not be attributed to such owner. 
In order that tackle may be considered as being 
properly marked, the following rules must be 
observed: 
1. Bottom nets, eel traps (alhommesitt), 
shrimp traps (rakrusor), shore weirs (strandsitt) 
for salmon, and other similar tackle fastened with 
poles, must have attached to the principal pole or 
the outermost pole a dark flag reaching at least 14 
meters above water. 
2. Lobster traps (hommor) which are not fas- 
tened with poles shall, when they are set out, 
each be designated by an upright stake without 
top mark, reaching at least 12 decimeters above 
water. If the traps are set out in a row, the 
marking can be limited to such a stake for the 
two outermost baskets in the row and a buoy or 
lesser stake for each of the other baskets. 
Single pots should be marked by a floating log. 
3. In the case of other stationary tackle, 
whether it be laid on the bottom or float nearer 
the surface, there shall be a stake at each end, 
with or without cask, the top of which shall reach 
at least 12 decimeters above water and be marked 
with a flag 3 decimeters square, at the end of the 
chain situated in the eastern semicircle of the com- 
pass (from north through east to south), and two 
triangular flags 3 decimeters long at the end situ- 
ated in the western cemicircle of the compass (from 
south through west to north). Between these 
marks there shall be placed a lesser stake without 
top mark, or a buoy, at least every 914 meters. 
4. Seines (snurrevadar) and drift nets (drifva- 
dar) must be provided, at the bag or cod, with a 
buoy line and a black-painted keg or buoy without 
top mark. In fishing with a seine a stake with
