Summary of agreement

The Agreement concerning Measures for the Protection of the Stocks of Deep-Sea Prawns, European Lobsters, Norway Lobsters and Crabs was adopted in Oslo in March 1952 in order to introduce joint management measures between Denmark, Sweden and Norway for certain stocks shared between their zones and off their coasts. The Agreement, which covered the seas lying between the three countries, set minimum sizes of meshes and minimum sizes of crustaceans to be caught (these restrictions did not apply to fishery research) and provided for the establishment of a commission to coordinate scientific and practical research. A protocol of amendment was adopted in 1959 to minimum length for Norway lobsters.
