Comentario

This Convention provides for cooperation and assistance between the States Parties in the rational exploitation of of the Black Sea fisheries, including research undertaken with a view to maintaining and augmenting their stocks. The Convention imposes certain limits on taking,especially establishing limits on the sizes of fish which may be taken. The Convention provides for the exchange of information as to the migration of 'industrial fish'. Such information includes the time and place of congregations of such fish, the direction of their movement, their density, and the hydrometeorological condition in which these migrations occur. The Convention also provides for the exchange of the results of scientific research more generally, expecially in the fields of marine ichthyology, hydro-biology and fishing techniques. Catch-data must also be exchanged.
