日本捕鲸船捕杀333头鲸鱼之后从南极返航

What have they learned from the 333 that they couldn't have learned from 1? What research papers have been published?

用333头鲸鱼做研究，比只用1头做研究多学到了哪些东西？他们目前发表了那些研究论文？

GigaJuice
Yea.... I don’t think they’re studying the whales.

是的...我觉得他们并不是在用鲸鱼做科研

slampisko
Seems more like they study the blade

他们似乎更像在研究捕鲸用的器具。

Which countries are still whaling despite the 1986 IWC ban on commercial whaling?
Japan
Almost immediately after the 1986 whaling ban came into effect, Japan launched its scientific whaling programme, widely recognised as a cover for its ongoing commercial whaling operation.
Meat from these whales — supposedly killed for science — is then sold in food markets or given away free or at low costs to schools and hospitals in marketing drives to encourage the consumption of whale meat .
The Japanese whaling fleet departs twice a year. In the North Pacific, Japanese whalers can kill up to 200 minke whales, 50 Bryde whales, 100 sei whales and 10 sperm whales under the guise of scientific research. Vessels had been killing up to 935 minke whales and 50 fin whales each year in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary before the International Court of Justice ruled that this was illegal.
· Norway
Norway only respected the IWC's whaling ban until 1993. Using a loophole in the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, Norway objected to the whaling moratorium, and resumed hunting for minke whales.
Norway sets its own quota for the number of whales its whalers are permitted to kill for commercial reasons. This number has gone up and up, from being allowed to kill 671 minke whales in 2002 to more than 1,000 today. However, in recent years, less than half of this self-allocated catch limit has been taken.
Norway is now hunting a higher proportion of breeding females which could put the long-term survival of minke whales in the North Atlantic in severe danger.
· Iceland
Like Japan, Iceland initially conducted a 'scientific' whaling programme. Then, in 1992, it withdrew from the IWC. When Iceland re-joined in 2004, it included a clause in its re-entry that spoke out in objection to the whaling moratorium.
In 2006, Iceland resumed commercial whaling, targeting minke and fin whales. In 2010 alone, Icelandic whalers killed 148 endangered fin whales and 60 minke whales.

国际捕鲸委员会于1986年禁止商业捕鲸后，哪些国家仍在捕鲸?
日本
在1986年捕鲸禁令生效后，日本几乎立即启动了其“科学捕鲸”计划，该计划广泛地被视为，是对其正在进行的商业捕鲸行动的掩护。
这些鲸鱼的肉——宣称是为了科学研究而死——在食品市场上出售，或者免费提供给学校和医院，以鼓励人们食用鲸鱼肉。
日本的捕鲸船队每年出航两次。在北太平洋，日本捕鲸者可以在科学研究的幌子下杀死多达200头小须鲸、50头鲸鱼、100头鲸鱼和10头抹香鲸。在国际法院裁定这是非法的之前，每年在南海洋保护区的船只已经杀死了935头小须鲸和50头长须鲸。
·挪威
挪威直到1993年才开始国际捕鲸委员会的捕鲸禁令。其利用国际捕鲸公约的漏洞，挪威反对捕鲸禁令，并恢复捕杀小须鲸。
出于商业原因，挪威为其捕鲸者捕杀鲸鱼数量设定了配额。从2002年允许捕杀671头小须鲸到现在的1000多头，这个数字一直在上升。然而，近年来，这种分配的捕捞限额，得到执行的连一半还不到。
挪威目前正在捕杀更多的雌性鲸鱼，这可能会使得北大西洋的小须鲸的长期生存，面临严重的危险。
·冰岛
和日本一样，冰岛最初也进行了一项“科学”捕鲸计划。1992年，它退出了国际捕鲸委员会。当冰岛在2004年重新加入时，它在重新加入的条款中加入了，反对捕鲸禁令的条款。
2006年，冰岛恢复了商业捕鲸，目标是小须鲸和长须鲸。仅在2010年，冰岛捕鲸者就杀死了148只濒危的长须鲸和60头小须鲸。

What is driving Norway to do this? Who do they mostly sell these whales and their parts to? Is it mostly food for Norwegians or do they sell to foreign countries to make some kind of consumer goods?

是什么驱使挪威这么做?他们主要把鲸鱼和鲸鱼的器官卖给谁?它主要是作为食物提供给挪威人，还是被卖给外国人来制造什么产品?

Whale oil is used little today and modern commercial whaling is primarily done for food. The usage of whale products has somewhat reversed from the early days, with meat being the primary product of sale, and blubber being rendered down mostly to cheap industrial products such as animal feed or, in Iceland, as a fuel supplement for whaling ships. The primary species hunted are the common minke whale and Antarctic minke whale, two of the smallest species of baleen whales.

鲸鱼油在今天已经没有什么用处，现代商业捕鲸主要是为了食用。鲸鱼的用处与早期有所不同，主要用来销售的是鲸鱼肉，而鲸脂则主要用于廉价的工业产品，如动物饲料，或者，作为捕鲸船的补充燃料（冰岛是这样）。捕猎的主要物种是普通的小须鲸和南极小须鲸，它们是须鲸中最小的两种。

Lol the blubber of the hunted whales being used to supplement the fuel for the ships used to hunt the whales. We are a curious species.

哈哈哈，被捕杀的鲸鱼的鲸脂被用做捕杀鲸鱼的船只的补充燃料。人类真是奇葩。

I'm waiting for the day we look to the oceans and discover there's no fish left. What's going to happen after?

我很期待有一天，我们在海洋苦苦搜寻却发现无鱼可捕。那之后会发生什么呢？

That's pretty much what happened on the grand banks. Once one of the largest areas of marine biomass in the world due to its unique size, depth, and positioning within two important ocean currents, the fishing was so rich that it was noted as "swarming with fish" by 15th century explorer John Cabot, who famously reported fishing by lowering a basket into the water. It was so rich that it basically became its own doom, as everyone, including the Canadian government that was ostensibly responsible for regulating it, treated it as virtually unlimited. It turned out not to be unlimited at all, and by the 20th century, we had both the technology and the economic needs required to fish it to exhaustion, and we did. A complete moratorium was placed in 1992, only after it was realized how destructive the complete overfishing had already been, and 26 years later, it still hasn't even come close to recovering.

这就是“大浅滩”经发生的情况。“大浅滩”曾经是海洋鱼类种群最丰富的地区之一，由于其在两个洋流之间，独特的区域，深度和位置,鱼类极其丰富。以至于15世纪探险家约翰•卡伯特说那里“挤满了鱼”，并且用篮子就直接可以捞鱼。那个地区鱼类数量是如此之多，实际这也导致了它的衰落，因为每个人，包括表面上负责监管它的加拿大政府，都认为它数量是无限的。事实证明，它并不是无限的，到了20世纪，我们拥有了足以使其灭亡的技术能力和经济能力。只有在意识到过度捕捞多么有破坏性之后，1992年才开始彻底禁止捕捞。甚至在26年之后，它都还没有恢复。
