The Extinction of Fin Whale

Animals are God's blessings. You can see different types, shapes and weights in their own category. In marine animals, you can see that most mammals are abundant. Fishing whale is one of the mammals seen in marine life. This type of whale exists in all types of seas and is a suborder of a whale whale. Fishing whale is a very heavy whale. Its weight is estimated to be around 74 to 75 tons. Only weight is not a feature, but its length is also very interesting.

Lonely minke whales that are not in danger of extinction fall into this category. The same can be said about extinct whale called whale. But in any case, Icelandic whalers hunt them. This attracted the attention of California filmmaker Johnny Zwick. His documentary "Breach" published at Amazon Prime in November explored the country's commercial whaling industry. How can Iceland kill these animals? After 10 years of turmoil, I wanted to rejoin the whaling committee in 2002. It also includes a re-entry provision for commercial whaling ban. This moratorium 'reservation' is the reason for allowing commercial whaling in Iceland. Every year, the government sets a sustainable killing volume for minke and whale whales.

In order to understand the whaling business in Iceland it is important to know that there are two different industries: minke and whale. A small whale is captured by a small fishing boat near the coast of Iceland, and its meat is sold in the country. The whale of Nagao was hunted by a large ship before being exported to Japan. Current whaling activities in Iceland dates back to 1948, when Hvalur H / F first began operations. According to WDC (a whale and dolphin conservation group), "Hvar purchased a US naval base at the head of the Huval fjord, which is 35 miles northeast of Reykjavik and 18 meters in length, and the Danish Strait between Iceland and Greenland I did activities with. "

Iceland is still one of the few countries that maintains a whaling fleet. A company focuses mainly on the hunting of a whale for export to Japan, while other companies are fishing minke whale for domestic consumption, but meat is popular with tourists Therefore. Iceland currently has its own whale watching division and is nervous about the whale industry. Iceland does not object to the moratorium of the International Whaling Commission in 1986. Between 1986 and 1989, about 60 animals were acquired per year under scientific permission. However, under the strong pressure of anti-whaling nations, they regarded scientific whaling as a temporary stop, and Iceland discontinued whaling in 1989. Iceland left the IWC after the IWC refused the recommendations of the Scientific Committee to allow sustainable commercial whaling. 1992
