ABSTRACT
Definition issues are inherent in international deliberations. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is presently being supplemented with an ‘Agreement on Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks’. The resolutions on such ‘Highly Migratory Fish Stocks’ need an operational definition to be implemented. To establish such a definition seems to be a difficult task, taking into consideration that the fish stock is moving relative to ocean streams.
