Abstract
The problem of the influence of anti-Russian sanctions did not immediately affect Russian-Japanese relations in the field of fisheries, but began to manifest itself in rather unexpected ways. The impact of sanctions on the negotiation process on fisheries between Russia and Japan, the problem of non-payments is considered. Also, the impact of sanctions on the supply of Norwegian salmon to Japan, since the delivery routes passed through the sky of Russia, now it is closed to many countries. Fish products from Russia continue to be in high demand on the world market even under sanctions. Therefore, the import of fish by many countries from Russia remains high. In the Russian press, the issue of sanctions in Russian-Japanese fishing relations is covered little and insufficiently competently. The author's analysis of the problem is mainly based on publications in the Japanese media and Japanese government publications.
