Provisional Measures Law Concerning Fisheries Areas

The agreement also includes the establishment of a joint Japan-China Fisheries Council and a joint China Fisheries Association on the Chinese side. The two countries agreed to establish a joint fishing zone in the Yellow Sea, which covers the area east of the Chinese military alert line in the northern Yellow Sea and the no-fishing line for mechanized bottom trawl fishing south of that line, as well as the East China Sea and Yellow Sea areas north of the military operation line north of Taiwan. The agreement also includes the establishment of two fishing moratorium zones, four bottom trawl zones, and two purse seine zones, both of which will regulate the number of fishing vessels operating in the agreement zone, the fishing season, the mesh size, and the light power of the mechanized bottom trawl and purse seine fishing vessels.

In 1977, the United States and the Soviet Union implemented a 200-mile exclusive fishing zone, and other countries also established their own 200-mile exclusive zones, and Japan also enacted a similar law in 1977, known as the 200-Nautical Mile Water Zone Law (officially known as the Provisional Measures Law Concerning Fisheries Zones) (promulgated in May 1977 and put into effect in July). However, the 200-mile exclusive zone did not apply to Japan and China due to the Japan-China Fisheries Agreement, and it is estimated that Japan caught approximately 170,000 tons of fish within China's 200-mile zone in the same year, securing a certain degree of fishing rights.
