In 1997, the NAKHODKA oil spill accident gave a serious damage for environments, sightseeing, and fishery resources of 9 prefectures in the Sea of Japan side. From this lesson, authors arranged the fishery compensation, and examined the factor of the differences between compensation and claim. As the result, there is the difference between compensation and claim in the NAKHODKA oil spill accident, because of the definition of the term for restoration of fishery resources, the damage rate, decrease for the fishery catches. These differences were the gap of opinion of victim and assailant, and the reason was based on the data of the experiment in the laboratory and the marine surveyor respectively. This issue is strongly related to account for environmental value after the environmental damage. Further study is necessary for this issue, too.
