…The boundaries of fishing grounds were determined in five basic ways: (1) by using islands or rocks or other landmarks in the sea as boundaries, (2) by measuring the area of the water surface or the distance from land, (3) by using landmarks on land such as mountains or prospects, (4) by using a sea route (a sea route passing offshore) as a boundary, and (5) by using the center of a lake or bay as a boundary.
