PREFACE

The present publication, International Whaling Statistics No. XXIX,contains statistics covering the Antarctic Season 1950-51 and Whalingon grounds outside the Antarctic in 1951. As far as the Committeeknows all tables concerning the number of whales caught and produc-tion of oil are complete. The Committee has, however, not receivedmeasurement statements from some of the companies, and the tablesgiving the average size etc. are therefore not complete.

INTRODUCTION

The present publication contains a complete picture of the worldaggregate whaling results in 1951. In respect to the Antarctic the datarefer to the season 1950-51 and for the other areas the calendar year 1951.The Antarctic whaling results were given in detail in International WhalingStatistics No. XXVIII, while the results for other whaling grounds arepresented here for the first time.

In this publication the greatest interest concerns the whaling outsidethe Antarctic. This whaling covers several grounds and has, during thepost-war years, been carried on to a far greater extent than during theyears before the war. In 1951 221 catchers were employed in these areas,the highest number so far recorded in post-war years. The whaling outsidethe Antarctic is carried on from shore stations to a greater extent than inthe Antarctic. In 1951 it was carried on from 42 shore stations and 7floating factories. In the Antarctic season 1950-51 3 shore stations and19 floating factories were operating with a total of 262 catchers.

The usual tables illustrating the development of whaling from 1937-38to and including 1950-51 have been enclosed on pages 12-27 as an annexto this introduction.

From these tables it will, i.a., be found in which areas whaling wascarried on outside the Antarctic in 1951. It will be seen that, to a greatextent, the same grounds were operated as in 1950. On one ground, offthe coast of Madagascar, there was no activity in 1951, while on the otherhand, whaling was resumed off the coasts of California and Peru. FromCalifornia no whaling had been carried on since 1949, and from Peru notsince 1948.

If the number of whales killed is accepted as the measure of whalingactivity, it may be said that it has never been greater than during the lastseason, when the total number of whales killed amounted to 55,795, i.e.10,000 whales more than during the previous season.

However, this aggregate does not furnish a complete picture of thewhaling results. This may only be obtained by specifying the results onthe individual grounds and the various species of whales killed. On thebasis of these specifications one may be able to characterize the develop-ment which has taken place.

8

In the annex, page 12 (table c) is given a survey of the whales killedin the Antarctic and in the other main areas. This table shows that theconsiderable increase in the number of whales killed must be accountedfor in areas outside the Antarctic. In these areas 21,798 whales were killedin 1951, i.e. 9,134 more than the previous year. Owing to the regulationof the Antarctic whaling (the pelagic catch being limited to 16,000 blue-whale units), there is a definite allowance of the number of whales per-mitted to be killed in these waters.

The great increase in the number of whales killed outside the Antarcticdoes not, however, give a correct picture of the development of whaling.The number of whales killed embraces, apart from the baleen whale, alsothe sperm-whale, and the latter species should be dealt with separately.The sperm-whales are toothed whales and differ from the baleen whales infeeding habits and seasonal movements. The products derived from sperrh-whales are not used for human food and do not compete with the productsof the baleen whales. It is the latter species one primarily must considerwhen the problems of whaling are being discussed and the necessary stepstaken to prevent the depletion of the whale stock.

The number of whales killed during the period 1937/38-1950/51,registered in the two main groups baleen whales and sperm-whales, hasbeen as follows

It will be seen from these figures that there has been a comparativelysmall increase in the number of baleen whales killed during the last 3 sea-sons, and that the result for none of these seasons has reached the numberregistered in the two pre-war seasons. It is entirely different as far as thesperm-whale is concerned. For this species the post-war figures haveremained on an exceptionally high level, and in 1950-51 reached a maximumwith 18,264.

9

In the following survey the same classification is given for the Ant-arctic and other grounds. From this we learn that the number of baleenwhales killed has remained comparatively constant in the Antarctic, andthat the catch of baleen whales on other grounds during the last 3 seasonshas kept a comparatively high level.

The number of sperm-whales killed in the Antarctis has varied greatlyduring the last 3 seasons and in 1950-51 reached approximately 5,000, butthe largest number of sperm-whales has been killed elsewhere. In 1951 thenumber of sperm-whales killed on other grounds was larger than ever before.

The number of baleen whales killed on other grounds has been veryhigh during the last 3 years and reached a maximum in 1951. This must,however, be attributed to an increased intensity in the whaling activitiesrather than to an abundance of whales.

By examining the data in the annexed tables j to u, pages 21-27 onecannot find that they express a tendency towards a more abundant presenceof baleen whales. On the contrary, it may be assumed that the presenceof certain species of the baleen whale is rather scarce.

In the areas outside the Antarctic the blue-whale catch has been quiteinsignificant. The whaling operations in these areas have mainly been con-centrated on fin-whales and humpbacks, and during the majority of theyears since 1937, the catch of fin-whales has been dominating. Only during4 years of the periode recorded in the tables the humpback catch has playedthe most important part, viz. in 1937, 1938, 1949, and 1950. Also in 1951a large number of humpbacks was killed. The number of sei-whales killedhas for many years been higher than the number of humpbacks killed, asit will appear from the table page 10.

The unspecified species--"others" consist of different kinds of smallwhales, a comparatively small number of grey-whales and a number ofwhales whose name has not been stated. The areas covered by this tableextend from the Arctic waters to the entire Atlantic ocean and the Pacificocean.

In the annexed tables j-u , pages 21-27 these areas have been treatedseparately and particulars are given in respect to the individual whalinggrounds in each area.

-When concentrating the attention on the baleen whale catch, it willappear that the records from all grounds reveal a quite insignificant blue-whale catch. In the North Atlantic and Arctic the catch consists mainlyof fin-whales, while the catch of humpbacks and sei-whales has played asubordinate part. This also applies to the catch off the coast of Portugal,while, on the other hand, quite a large number of humpbacks have beenkilled off the coast of Africa. In 1951 , however, the catch of sei- andfin-whales was of equal importance in these waters. The humpback catchwas dominating off the coast of Congo, while the fin-whale catch was ofgreatest importance off the coast of Natal and the Cape Province. Even ifthe number of whales killed on these grounds in 1951 has been higherthan during the previous years, this fact does not signify a more abun-dant stock of whales being present, the catch being dependent on thenumber of catchers employed, which was very high in 1951.

On the Pacific grounds the whaling activity has mainly been con-centrated on fin- and sei-whales, but altogether, whaling has not beencarried on to a great extent, and nothing seems to indicate an abundantstock of whales in these waters.

11

In Japanese waters the sei-whale is now numerically the most im-portant species, and it is the sei-whale catch which has enabled theJapanese companies to carry on whaling. On the Kamtchatka groundsthe fin-whale catch plays the dominant part.

The catch from Brazil during the last 9 seasons has consisted mainlyof sei-whales.

The whaling activity off the coast of Chile has mainly been concentratedon fin-whales, but compared with whaling on other grounds, a relativelyhigh number of blue-whales has been killed in these waters.

The whaling along the coast of Peru has been quite insignificant, andthe catch has consisted mainly of fin-whales and humpbacks. The groundswhere the catch of humpbacks seems to be dominating, are the watersaround New-Zealand and Australia, where the catch has consisted almostexclusively of humpbacks.

The Committee for International Whaling Statistics has found itimportant to draw attention to the different species of whales killed in thevarious grounds. The Committee does not consider it necessary to analyzethe data concerning the oil production, the average size of whales killed,etc., the supplementary tables annexed to the introduction being suffi-ciently- illustrating without further comments.
