words only definitions & notes
  1. minke whale
    small finback of coastal waters of Atlantic and Pacific
    In 2005, the IWC passed Resolution 2005-1, which noted that Japan killed 6,800 minke whales for scientific research after the moratorium, compared to 840 whales in the thirty-one years before the moratorium.
  2. moratorium
    suspension of an ongoing activity
    In 1972, the Stockholm Action Plan, produced by the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, called for a ten-year commercial whaling moratorium.
  3. humpback whale
    a large whale noted for arching its back as it dives
    The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administrations estimates that the number of humpback whales decreased from 125,000 to 80,000.
  4. noncommercial
    not motivated by profit or intended for business purposes
    The IWC views aboriginal subsistence whaling as a noncommercial form of whaling.
  5. Inuit
    a member of a people inhabiting the Arctic
    Archaeologists in South Korea discovered harpoons and other whaling implements that date to 6000 BCE. Similar whaling implements from North America indicate that the Inuit began whaling before 3000 BCE. The Basque of Spain and France, Scandinavian peoples, and Japanese had thriving whaling traditions before 1600 CE.

    By the nineteenth century, the demand for whale oil, which was used as a machine lubricant, led to new developments in whaling technology.
  6. aboriginal
    having existed from the beginning
    The IWC's whaling moratorium, which remains in place, does not apply to either aboriginal subsistence whaling or whaling performed for scientific research.
  7. cetacean
    large aquatic carnivorous mammal with fin-like forelimbs
    Since the imposition of IWC's moratorium, Japan's Institute for Cetacean Research (ICR) has killed up to 1,000 whales per year for scientific research.
