Description (What the record is about)
-
Published statistics of numbers, sizes and biological data of all whales caught, by species, geographical area and season; of the yields of oil and other products; and the numbers of whaling vessels and operations involving land stations and factory ships.
For the large species of whales traditionally associated with commercial whaling the volumes incorporate statistics from 1868. There are also records of aboriginal whaling and catches of small cetaceans both directed and incidental.
The records are collated from whaling companies and contain data collected on whaling vessels (catcher boats and factory ships) and at land-based factories.
