BREMERHAVEN, Germany — July 16, 2013 — Facing apparent Russian objections, the countries that regulate Antarctic fishing failed Tuesday to agree on proposals to create giant marine sanctuaries in the continent’s oceans.

‘‘The outcome is not what we expected or hoped for … We did not reach a consensus,’’ said Terje Lobach, the chair of the group deliberating the results.
