Japan and Russia have started discussions for the conditions of salmon and trout fishing by Japanese fishermen in the Russian exclusive economic zone (EEZ) for 2024. This is the first time in three years that such discussions have taken place, following the suspension due to the situation in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the quota for salmon and trout fishing by Japanese fishermen in the Japanese EEZ has been agreed upon and approved. The seafood catch quotas and other issues are discussed and agreed between the two countries every year.
