Japan's whale-research programs involve both lethal and nonlethal
techniques, including sighting surveys and the use of biopsy sampling.
However, the primary purpose of Japan's current research program is
to examine the impact of whales on the fisheries resources of the north Pacific,
where whales are increasingly abundant and are consuming fish from
declining fisheries that feed humans. Yes, the program includes
the take of sperm and Bryde's whales, which have not been hunted since 1987,
but it is certain that the small take (up to 50 Bryde's and 10 sperm whales)
from abundant stocks for research purposes will not have any negative impact on these stocks.
