HANEY Associated Press Writer BOSTON (AP) - A Russian sea captain has been arraigned on charges of catching too many fish off the coast of the United States in the first alleged violation of this nation’s new 200-mile fishing limit. Aleksandr Gupalov, whose trawler was seized last Sunday, did not enter a plea Friday at his arraignment before a feder al magistrate. His lawyer said he would fight the charges and another court session was scheduled for May 5. Gupalov, tall and thin with swept back blond hair, an swered the magistrate’s ques tions in Russian through an in terpreter. He answered such routine queries as how many children he has and whether he lives with his wife. Then Magistrate Lawrence Cohen ordered him confined to his ship until the case is settled. Gupalov’s ship, the 275-foot Taras Shevchenko, was seized by the Coast Guard off Natucket Island on Sunday for catching more than its quota of river herring. He was accused of violating the permit that allows his ship to fish in waters now closed by the United States. Civil charges were also filed against the trawler. If convicted of the criminal charges, Gupalov could be sen tenced to one year in prison, receive a SIOO,OOO fine and for feit his ship. The trawler was fishing for hake but under its permit was allowed to keep small amounts of herring as long as they did not exceed one per cent of the total catch. When it was seized, author ities said the ship held 397 tons of fish, including 10 tons of her ring — twice the limit specified in the permit. The trawler’s hold also contained six tons of squid, a species prohibited un der the new fishing laws, they said. U.S. Attorney James Gabriel said the case may not get to trial. “I always hope we can Revival ! 10 A.M. and : 7:30 P.M. Highland Baptist Church 101 E. Mclntosh Guest Evangelist is Rev. Gordon A.
