	Blue Whale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales.
		Blue Whales are rorquals (family Balaenopteridae), a family that includes the Humpback Whale, the Fin Whale, the Bryde's Whale, the Sei Whale and the Minke Whale.
		Most data comes from Blue Whales killed in Antarctic waters during the first half of the twentieth century and was collected by whalers not well-versed in standard zoological measurement techniques.

	Killer Whales: Diet and Eating Habits
		Perhaps the killer whales were resting or they may have had their fill, but the final fate of the severely injured blue whale was not known.
		Killer whales swallow their food in chunks if need be, but their throats are large enough to swallow small seals and walruses whole.
		The killer whale pulled the 3 to 4 m (10-13 ft.) shark to the surface in its mouth and the killer whales consumed sections of the great white such as its enormous liver.

	JWHALE Case
		Along with the whale sanctuary, there was a proposed 50-year ban on killing whales between 40 degrees south latitude and the Antarctic coast line.
		Finally, the whale's future rests upon Japanese decision on whether or not to withdraw from the IWC -- to continue whale hunting regardless of its extinction or, to cooperate with the international consensus.
		Whale continued to be a major source of animal protein until the mid-1960s.

		Iceland's attempt to adhere to the Whaling Convention with a reservation with respect to the moratorium is necessarily incompatible with the "object and purpose" of the Convention.
		Whales and dolphins are at the top of the oceanic food chain, so pollutants dangerous to humans tend to be in higher concentrations in the meat and blubber of these animals than other sources of protein.
		Whale and dolphin strandings take place frequently along Japan's coast, but local authorities are now required to dispose of the whales without human consumption because of health concerns.

	WWF - Sei whale
		The sei whale became a major target for commercial whaling after the preferred stocks of blue and fin whales had been depleted.
		Recently a number of South Pacific countries, including five island nations, have declared their EEZs (Exclusive Economic Zone) to be whale sanctuaries in which commercial whaling is prohibited and where additional research on large whales is encouraged.
		Like other great whales, the sei whale prefers to spend the summer feeding in the cooler northern waters before migrating south to warmer waters to breed and calve.

		Of the nine volcanic islands that compose the chain, the best whale-watching is to be had in the waters between Faial, Pico, and São Jorge, where plentiful fish supplies entice abundant water mammals from April to September, including the most frequently sighted sperm and short-finned pilot whales.
		While whales tend to visit all of the islands, Maui is their number-one watering hole, with many species gathering, at some point, along the southern and western shores between Wailea, Kihei, Lahaina, and Ka’anapoli.
		For the chance to witness a sperm whale flap its tail at you, hop onboard a whale-watching tour boat, or, for a truly unique experience, opt for a 30-minute flight that will give you an airborne perspective, and a whale of a tale to tell.

	What's New at the WCPA
		The Forum continued to attach importance to the sustainable use of marine resources, noting that a greater level of protection for whales was appropriate, and also noting the internationally recognized need for sanctuaries, to assist with the long-term conservation of great whales.
		In noting this report and with reference to the issue of a South Pacific Whale Sanctuary, the Forum noted the recommendation of the SPREP Ministerial meeting calling for full support for the South Pacific Whale Sanctuary proposal, which was to be presented at the annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission in 2001.
		The SPREP Ministers recognised that the proposal would not only protect the breeding grounds of the great whale species in the Southern Hemisphere but would also bring economic benefit to some members through the establishment of whale watching enterprises in their territorial waters through which the great whales passed in the course of their migrations.

		Six huge whaling fleets ruthlessly plundered the world's whales for the sole purpose of raising funds to finance the conquest of China.
		Tens of thousands of blue, fin, sei, humpback, and right whales were slaughtered by the Japanese fleets in Antarctic waters and the Pacific for their edible oil, which was sold in Europe (largely to Unilever, which had developed the process of creating margarine through hydrogenation of whale oil) for hard currency.
		Taking advantage of an expired ban on hunting humpback whales, the Japanese Antarctic fleets in 1941 harpooned 2,394 of the endangered species-the same stock that Japan is now targeting in its proposed "research" whaling scheme.
