 fishing industry, and its quantity.

 have been granted. 



3. An exact indication of the fishing tract or tracts to which the

5. The number of persons on board. 



The vessel provided with the aforementioned certificate and with

 It is a matter of course that the ports where a custom-house is situ- 

 ated shall always be accessible to the said vessel. 



Japanese vessels proceeding to Russian waters in order to engage 

 in fishing for whales, cod, &c., by virtue of the third paragraph of 

 article 2 of the fisheries convention, shall call provisionally in one 

 of the Russian ports specially designated, where the competent Rus- 

 sian authorities shall issue to them a special permit for such fishing, 

 which permit shall serve them at the same time as the certificate of 

 navigation. 



ARTICLE 12. 



The use of the ordinary Tateami shall be authorized in all fishing 

 tracts occupied by Japanese subjects except in tracts situated 



1408 nearest to the mouths of rivers. It is agreed, moreover, that

not be prohibited in case fishing with movable nets is not practicable 



there.
