N.Z. fishermen want access to Japan
PA Auckland The Federation of Commercial Fishermen has called for the removal of about 90 Japanese tuna longliners from New Zealand waters until New Zealand fishermen are promised full access to Japanese tuna markets. The move is one of a number of strong measures the federation wants the Government to adopt against foreign fishing boats. Russian trawlers, American superseiners, and all foreign joint-venture fishing boats would be subject to severe restrictions if the federation gets its way.
The federation has also called for: © A total ban on all foreign-licensed and joint fishing inside a 300 m depth of water where that depth extends beyond the 12-mile territorial limit. O A firm stand against Russian fishing boats working inside New Zealand’s 200rriile economic zone. . ® No sales of joint-ven-ture-caught fish in the local market. . © A ban on all foreign
joint-venture and charterline fishing vessels in fishing areas F, G, and B.
@ A ban on foreign jointventure or charter fishing vessels taking albacore tuna
within the New Zealand zone.
The federation expressed a vote of “concern” about decisions rpade by members and the management of the Fishing Industry Board. 1
