	The Ultimate Whaling Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		The research will primarily consist of measuring fish stocks in the area from which whales have been removed and the strongest advocates for a resumed hunt are fisherman concerned that whales are taking too many fish.
		Many researchers say that the whales that are killed are those that are most curious about boats and thus the easiest to approach and kill.
		Researchers at the Institute for Cetacean Research gave figures of 90m tonnes for humans and 249-436m tonnes for cetaceans.

	Cetacea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Cetaceans are ecologically very diverse as their habitats vary from coastal to pelagic, from tropical to polar, and from marine to fresh water, while their preys vary from planctonic crustaceans to fish, squids, and marine mammals.
		The close relationship between cetaceans and ungulates (and especially artiodactyls) was strongly supported by basically all molecular data published to date: from immunological (e.g., Boyden and Gemeroy, 1950; Shoshani, 1986) and DNA-DNA hybridization (Milinkovitch, 1992) studies, to analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear amino-acid and DNA sequences (e.g., Czelusniak et al.
		The morphology of the ankle (mainly the astragalus and calcaneum) of these terrestrial cetaceans suggest that Cetacea are the sister group of monophyletic Artiodactyla, and that [artiodactyls, cetaceans] form the sister group of mesonychians.

		IFAD is a specialized UN agency established as an international financial institution, with a specific mandate to combat hunger and rural poverty in developing countries.
		The author notes that those working in the financial sector are generally unaware of the rationale and pressures for sustainable development and its bearing on their work, while those in the relevant research and policy areas commonly overlook how vital the financial sector is for progress.
		He concludes by noting that almost all the components for an eco-economy can be found in at least one country, and argues that the challenge ahead is for each country to put all the pieces of an eco-economy together.

		Cetology is composed of technical papers on the biology of marine mammals with an emphasis on cetaceans.
		Numerous technical papers on the biology and behavior of specific cetaceans are presented to the Scientific Committee Meeting and are currently published as the Reports of the Scientific Committee.
		Original research reports and technical notes on investigations in fishery sciences are published in the quarterly Fishery Bulletin issued by the NOAA branch of the Service in Seattle, WA.

		At Tokuya, we serve whale meat and blubber from whales Japanese scientists take in the Southern Ocean.
		The International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW) mandates that as much as possible all whales taken for research under Article VIII of the ICRW be processed and the proceeds dealt with as the permitting Member Government [in this case, Japan] directs [VIII(2)].
		Therefore, after the scientists have examined the whales and taken the data they seek, the meat and blubber from whales are sold to help defray the high costs of research.
