I don't know, but I think that in Japan and Norway, they are whaling nations, that's it.
Norway have been whaling for hundreds of years, and do it for food and money. The whales that Norway hunt are not threatened by extinction.
Norway's Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs announced the 2013 quota would be for 1,286 minke whales. However, as in previous years, it is expected the whalers of Norway will only kill about half of the quota. Unfortunately, Norway continues to set its quotas unilaterally in direct defiance of a moratorium on all commercial whaling established by the International Whaling Commission in 1986.
Japan, Norway, Soviet Union.
Mostly in Japan and the Faroe islands and Norway and Iceland. There is a small amount of whaling by natives (Eskimos) in the far North of Siberia, Canada and Alaska
Connecticut was an important shipbuilding and whaling state.
Japan, Norway, and Iceland still conduct whaling. Japan uses a loop hole in the moratorium on whaling. They claim they are conducting research, but that is widely disputed. There are also some Alaskan Natives who engage in whaling.
The major countries which still permit legalized commercial whaling are Japan, Norway and Iceland. They each give their own reasons, including "benefit of science", etc.
Not all whaling is Japanese whaling. They get the most fame because they kill many whale (almost 1000 in the southern ocean every year, along with hundreds off their coast). Norway, Iceland, and some aboriginal tribes also kill whales, but not as many as Japan.
Since whales are killed in whaling, I'd Think it'd be pretty obvious that whales are affected by whaling.
In the south pacific In the south pacific Japan, Norway and Iceland are amongst the biggest commercial whalers.
