JAPAN, USSR SALMON TALKS--Tokyo--March 27 (JIJI Press)--Japan
and the Soviet Union will start talks April 2 to determine this year's
- catch quota for Japan's salmon fishing in the northwestern Pacific. This
was agreed upon at a meeting in Moscow Wednesday between Soviet first _
Vice Fisher.ies Minister N.P. Kudryav~sev and Susumu Matsubara, minister
at the Japanese Embassy in the Sovi~t capital, according to a JIJI press
dispatch. A Japanese negotiating team will leave for Moscow Monday. -
Likely to be named Japanese delegates are Matsubara and Director Hiroya
Sano of the Fishery Agency's Oceanic Fisheries Department. [Excerpt]

JAPAN-SOVIET FISHERY TALKS--Accorc;ing to a government source on 13 March,
Japan's Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Soviet Union -
Matsubara will meet shortly with Fir.st Deputy Minister of the Soviet
Ministry of the Fish Industry Kudryavtsev in Moscow to discuss opening
of fishery negotiations on this year's salmon quota for Japanese fishing
boats in the northern Pacific. Japan had wanted to open the negotiations
. in the week beginning 17 March. At the meeting, the Soviet side is ex-
pected to give its answer to envoy Matsubara's demand that the salmon
negotiations be opened soon. Thus, there is a st*_~ng possibility that `
the salmon negotiations Uetween Japan and the Soviet Union will be held ,
early in April at the earliest. [Text] [Tokyo NIHON KEIZAI SHIMBUN .

[TextJ Tokyo, ~pril S(JIJI Press)--Goverrment officials of Japan ar~d South Korea will
get together in Seoul Wednesday for three-day fishery talks, The Japanese delegation will
include Goroku Satake, director of the Fishery Agency~s Fisheries Promotio n Department,
_ and Shun,~i Yanai, director of the Foreign Office~s treaties division. .
High on the agenda is the problem of Korean fishing boats~ operations off Hokkaido, �
Japan's northerrmost land mass, which has caused troubles with local Japanese fishermen.
This issue developed after the Soviet Union enforced a 200-mile exclusive fishing zone
ia the spring of 1977, which sent Korean fishermen moving into waters close to Japan~s
12-mile territorial waters off Hokkaido in the absence of diplom atic relations between
Seoul and Moscow.
However, despite three ycars of consultations between Japsn arrl South Korea, the Korean
side has not yet complied with Tokyo~s request to observe this nation's fishing controls
� in the waters. The two nations have not applied their 200-mile zones to each other.
Under the circumstances, local fishermen in Hokkaido have urged the goverrment to ban
Korean fishing by applying Japan's 200-mile zor~e to prevent a plunge in fish stocks and
halt troubles including damage to fishing gear.
At the coming talks, the Koreans for their part are expectedto propose establishment of
no-tishing zones in the southern waters of Che,~u Island south of the Korean Peninsula, ~
to protect fishery resources. Japan will ob,~ect, however, pointing out the need to control
Korean "Anko" trawlers as well on the ground that no-fishing zones would affect Japanese
trawlers alone.

SALMON IMPORTS--According to the Japanese Aquatic Products Import Association, _
Japan imported 54,700 tons of salmon in 1979, up 10 percent from the pre-
ceding year and far above the expected Japanese salmon quota of 42,500 tons
(actual catch amount as of last spring) to be set between Japan and the
Soviet Union for this year. This increase was attributable to boo~ted
salmon purchases from Alaska and Canada by Japan's major fish dealers.
In a~dition, a large amount of salmon are now caught in Hokkaido. Thus,
the supply of salmon is gradually exceeding demand in Japan. This wi11
place Japan in a favorable position in upcoming Japan-Soviet salmon fishery
negotiations. Some people in Japan's fish industry hold the view that
"should this increase in imports continue, Japan may need no quota assi~n-
ments for salmon fishery in the northern Pacific in the future." (Tokyo

~Interviex xith Minister oi Navy L~eine Fadiks~ chairman of Oceantrnpiquea,
by JS'UIi~ AFRIQUE e date and place not given]
~Tex] JEUI~ AFBIQiJ~ s Yhat~ do you think of this eapoait~.on? Did it live
up to your hopea?
Lamir?e Fadika: To our hopes~ yea~ to the extent that they xere reaaonably
lisited. Oceantropiquea xss a firat. Yhen Ocesnaxpo xaa estsblished in
1971, only induatries e~nd expertB of tha d~eveloped xorld xere rep~esented.
In 1974 it xas the eane. In 1977, the developing countries ~rere invited but
, on the sa'e basia and in accordance xith tha sase organi~ationdl procedureB
~ ss tho~e applicable to the other exhibitors, irhich ass not coapatible Kith
our particular aituation. i11th the creation of Oceantropiques~ e~rerything
is cha~git~g. we hsve our hands c^ a tool irhich must ceri;v+aly be perfected
but ~hich, nevertheleas~ ia a ap~cl.ngboard froe Khich xe sho~~ild be able to
agree on s dislog--the notorious North-South dialog--in an area o! the great- ,
est i~portance.
JStTNS AFRIQUS: You apesk as though thst dialog ~rere still to be initiated.
Lamine Fadika: On the Oceanexpo-0ceantropiques level this is true. The un-
dertaking ie still warloed by its original character: that of an exhibition-
iair like any other~ xith its sellers an~ buyers. As for ne~ Ke did not go
there to do businees but to explain our problems and see ii it is possible ~
to find solutions. Our attendance Mas more political than co~mercial. Ke
Kere given a apeak~er's platfor~~ but ~e atill do not have ~esny interlocutors.
Me muat reflect about thi~ aapect of the question d~ing the next 3 years so
that the naxt Oceantropiques xill be eore fruitful. 1ie xish to add extra
apirit~ if I may vr~ntu~�e to say so. to this ex~o~L~ion. When xe say~ "The .
ocean for all ancR ~'ar peace ~e give our couree a?~';�action a cultural and ~
philosophical can~~r:' xhich must be taken into consideration.
JEUN~ AFRIQUE: Nhat, broadly speaking, are your probleme?
I,amine Fadike: We have all kinds. For example, let us consider ma~ritime
traa~eportation: xe are by far the foremost f`reight euppliars in the xorld.

But xe have only 10 percent of the overall tonnage of the xorld's commerce .
fleet. Great~r balance ie eeaential. Moreover, thie Kould be of benefit to
everyone~ for the principal factor in the cost of naritime trans~ortstion ie
lsbor, and otuc labor ie leee burdenaome than that of industriali~ed countries.
lie would have liloed to find aene~ isterloEntore in thia area at Oce+~?tropiqnea~
for exa~aple~ European shippera. Unfortunately~ that iras not the case.
Our Resourcea Ars Pillaged. iie Are Cheated. :
Another aub3ect for concern~ the living resources of the oceans. Currently~
they still aupply only 2 percent of huuan nourishnent~ but it is thought
- that during the 3d nillenium they will supply as nuch as 50 percent. Thi.s
xithont epeaking of c:nimal feed. It so happgns that xe are in good position
_ to participste in thi~ develop~uenti we have extensive coas~ts irashed by seas ~
abundant in fish. Provided our resources are not ~ethodically pillaged. This
ie the current eituatioa, to the point that tire hsve good cause to fear that
Me shall aee the fish grox ecarce if not disappear. This pillage takes place -
in tNO ~rays: first~ piracy pure ~nd ginple. As ~e do not have sufficient
means o~ survelllance og our territorial xaters~ ships coming f~om the North
fiah sha~elessly in those ~raters xithout the least benefit to the country
thus plundered.
The other Way ie not reapecting agreements. When ~re grant a fishing right,
~re specify the q~antities of fish xhich may be caught, the fiahing methods
which are peraissible and the categories of �i8h allowed. Hoxever, too often
these contracts are not reapected. Thoae involved fish ~eore than snticipe~ted .
or caDUit sone other inf'ringement. There again, xe do not have suffic~ent
means of surveillance. We are cheated.
In the area of aquaculture~ rich in fliture proapects, xe still depend~ for ~
~ the moment, on Yestern technology. Ne must make plans and Find sources of
financing. ,
Lastly, let as speak of a aub~ect xhich is uppermost among our conCerns~
the ocean's mineral resources. 'Thanks to their technology, industrialized
countries ase establiahing a veritabl.e monopoly over ~his immenae wealth at
the risk of cauaing~di,~aast~er among the extractive industriea of developing
- countries: true chaos in the offing. This will be of no benefit to anyane.
- Vhat xill become of the industxiea of the North~ if the South is no longer
able to purchsae the~equipsent it needs?
Unilateral exploitation of under~rater ore by developed countries xould only
eerve to xorsen xorld imbalances to a serious degree, xith all the conse-
quences Khich r~ould result from ~hose imbalances. ~
JEUNE AFRIQUE: You spoke of this ~atter during the Oceantropiques?
