 frontline: a whale of a business: capture & slaughter: report on futo fishing harbor
Although some dolphins die instantly, a Taiji fisherman said, "When their bellies are cut open, some dolphins let out a human like scream, and researchers are not allowed to record those screams" (statement from a February 1997 interview).
Ten aquariums in Shizuoka Prefecture and nearby prefectures were involved in this capture, but only six of those facilities actually received dolphins; four of the 10 went to Futo for the sole purpose of helping, a fact that illustrates well the solidarity among aquariums in capturing cetaceans.
The order in which aquariums chose dolphins on this occasion was apparently decided by drawing lots, while the selecting and moving of dolphins wee done individually for each aquarium.

 CSI Whales Alive! Vol. XIV No. 2 Contaminated Dolphin Meat In Japan
The Inspecting Center of Public Health in Ibaraki Prefecture once advised that meat with mercury contamination exceeding the maximum advisory level of 0.4 ppm should be discarded, because eating poisoned dolphin meat is a serious health hazard, causing damage to the brain and nervous system, especially for young children and pregnant women.
Mercury contamination may not be limited to dolphins killed in Futo, Shizuoka, or Miyagi.
Although the three biggest newspapers in Japan, the Asahi, the Yomiuri, and the Mainichi, reported the contamination news in their local editions, the local newspapers the Izu and the Shizuoka refused to carry it, apparently for fear that readers would cancel their subscription if the contamination was reported locally.
