Jap Fishing Captains Free on Bond
Three Japanese fishing boat captains charged with poaching in Alaska waters were released on bond as four more days passed in Shelikof Strait between Kodiak Island and the mainland. Capt. Mongo Wanasaki led with a 4500 dollar bond while captains Tadao Nigashima and Satoshi Mine posted 500 dollars each. The case raises questions over whether the waters are international or Alaskan. Government officials note the Alaska Supreme Court will decide the status, while Japan contends Shelikof Strait is not a territorial body of water. The fishermen, who trawled for herring, face Alaska fishing regulation enforcement.
