Note that the GOJ carefully adjusts the level of its
misinformation to the target readership; what is said in
journal articles read by scientists is typically far more
cautious than the "facts" promulgated to a lay audience.
For example, Morishita is careful in his article to note that
some whale populations are growing "at more than 10%
annually", yet on the public website of the GOJ's Institute
of Cetacean Research (ICR)注4 (www.icrwhale.org), readers
are told that populations of humpback and fin whales are
increasing at "14-16%"―rates that the SC has agreed are
biologically impossible.注5 Elsewhere, the 760,000 estimate
for Antarctic minke whales is often cited by Japan with no
mention of the fact that the IWC no longer considers it
appropriate.

＜注５＞ In a 2006 review, the SC agreed that the maximum plausible annual
rate of increase for humpback whales is 10.6% [18]; similar constraints
would also apply to fin whales. Despite this, from its scientific whaling
program data Japan has reported rates of increase as high as 18.1%
(CV = 0.21) and 29.8% (CV = 0.1) per annum for Antarctic humpback
and fin whales, respectively [19].
