There will be no specific decision in the Taiyo Maru No. 28 case on the argument that tuna fishing was permitted in the contiguous fisheries zone surrounding islands near the mainland of the United States under the 1972 executive agreement with Japan (see 70 AJIL 96 n.6 (1970)), as the parties have advised the District Court that the case is being settled. On May 12, 1976, the District Court was informed that the parties had agreed to the entry of a $130,000 judgment in the civil forfeiture action with an admission of the averments in the complaint and to a dismissal of the criminal proceedings against the master of the ship.
