joining Bonilla Point and Tatoosli Island; north of a line pro- 

 jected due west from Carroll Island (latitude 48° 00.3' North, 

 longitude 124° 43.3' West) and south of a line projected from 

 Bonilla Point to the intersection of the outer limits of the recip- 

 rocal fishing areas of the United States and Canada (latitude 48° 

 29.Y' North, longitude 125° 00.7' West) ; 



(c) any black cod other than: 



(i) a catch not to exceed 30,000 pounds annually taken 

 by longline or pot gear off the west coast of Alaska between 

 lines projected southwest (225° true) from Cape Ommaney 

 and Cape Bingham respectively during the open seasons spe- 

 cified for fishing for black cod in the adjacent territorial 

 sea ; and 



(ii) a catch not to exceed 15,000 pounds off the west coast 

 of Vancouver Island between lines projected southwest (225° 

 true) from Estevan Point and Cape Scott respectively; 



(d) any tuna other than a catch not to exceed 500 tons annu- 

 ally taken south and west of a line projected due east from Chat- 

 ham Light on Cape Cod. Not more than two Canadian vessels 

 exceeding 150 feet in overall length may take tuna within the 

 area described, and only at such times and in the same general 

 area as that in which United States tuna vessels exceeding 150 feet 

 in overall length are fishing. 



Subject to its domestic legislation, each Government will continue 

 to permit transfers of herring between nationals and vessels of the 

 two countries within the reciprocal fishing areas. The Governments 

 agree that the principal purpose of this provision is to enable the con- 

 tinuation of transfers of herring intended for purposes other than 

 reduction. 



(3) Nationals and vessels of either country will not initiate fisher- 

 ies within the reciprocal fishing area of the other country for species 

 which are fully utilized by fishermen of the latter country. If fisher- 

 men of either country wish to initiate a fishery within any part of the 

 reciprocal fishing area of the other country for species not fully uti- 

 lized, their Government will first consult with the other Government 

 and reach an understanding concerning conditions for such a fishery. 



(4) Regulations established by one country pertaining to the taking 

 or possession of fish within its reciprocal fishing area shall apply 

 equally to the nationals and vessels of both countries operating within 

 such area ; in areas of the reciprocal fishing area of Ctinada in which 

 Canadian domestic regulation at present prohibits trawl fishing by 

 vessels exceeding 65 feet in length, such fishing by United States ves- 

 sels exceeding 65 feet is also prohibited. These regulations shall be 

 enforced by the Government which issued them. Should either Gov- 

 ernment consider it necessary to alter such fishery regulations, that 

 Government shall notify the other Government of such proposed 

 changes 60 days in advance of their application. Should such changes 

 in fishery regulations require major changes in fishing gear, an ade- 

 quate period of time, up to one year, will be afforded the nationals and 

 vessels of the other country to adapt to such changes prior to their 

 application. 



(5) The two Governments recognize the desirability of coordinat- 

 ins: their regulations for certain salmon fisheries and agree as follows :
