What is being done to stop whaling in Antarctica?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The conflict is between the Japanese government and a anti whaling movement called sea shepherd. Sea shepherd claim what Japan is doing is illegal. This is for 2 reasons, first Japan kill whales for commercial purpose and making it illegal, as well as whales are killed in the Antarctica whale sanctuary which means it is illegal for whales to be killed in the sanctuary.

However, Japan claims that they are doing it for scientific research on things like dietary, migration and behaviour.

What Japan is doing is technically illegal but why countries don't get involve is that the laws are not enforced and Japan continues to break the law without any political opposition from other nations.

How many fishing companies are in antarctica?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Like in most places on Earth, fish live in large schools at the bottom of the sea, so numbering them is naturally quite difficult. However, it is estimated, that about 30 million fish do live in Antarctic waters.

These aren't any ordinary fish either. They can anti-freeze themselves so the biting coldness of Antarctica doesn't kill them. I'm not sure what the species of fish are, but I know cod is one of them.
