Whaling is basically the practice of hunting and killing of whale. This word also refers to the industry of killing whales for their oil, bones and meat. Whaling is at times known as whale fishing. Whaling first originated back in 3000 BC and commercial whaling developed in late 1890s and early 1900s.

Most people aren't aware that they are. It was presumed that primarily the Russians & Japanese are.
People hunt whales for meat, oil, whalebone and ambergris, and for scientific research. Whale oil is used as a lubricant and as a component of soaps and cosmetics (and was formerly used for margarine and as fuel for lamps). Ambergris is used as a fixative in perfume production. Whale hunting is a way unwealthy people make money illegaly in places like Iceland, Japan, etc.
Is the International commission on Nobility and Royalty official in anyway?
No!!! This is a private organization that chooses who it wishes to recognize. The ICNR is in no way official to make claims to being official. In one case they go so far as to claim bishops have no right to grant noble and royal titles yet it is bishops who crowns the kings. Case in point they are really a private company that wants to take your money by trying to get you to register for a fee. The only ones that join free are those that too well known.
The International Commission on Nobility and Royalty (ICNR) is not a government agency, but no organization on nobility and royalty is. For example, the International Commission on Orders of Chivalry (ICOC) is a private organization, so is Burke's Peerage and Gentry. However, the ICNR is a valid corporation and is accredited through the Better Business Bureau with an "A+" rating and the Chamber of Commerce on the Web, which is "The Seal of Integrity in Online Business." Interestingly, they do not say anything about bishops, as the above statement suggests, but they do say only authentic sovereigns can grant genuine and authentic royal and noble titles, which is the opinion of the vast majority of scholars in the field. Membership in the Commission is for a modest fee, and the Commission is supported by a number of royal houses and over 60 members. A visit to their website shows an honest and sincere effort to contribute and benefit the field with many original articles on about 50 web pages.
How did factory ships change the whaling industry?
Whaling factory ships wasn't used until the early 1900s. With the introduction it revolutionized how much whales a country can kill in a signle season. Factory Ships enabled more whales to be killed in a season and the bigger the ship, the less time it was needed to stop and transport it to other ships where the would carry the meat back to their country. Factory ships also enabled countries who did Whaling to travel to Antarctica when Whale population along coastal regions began to decline.
Only modern factory ship used is by the Japanese Whaling fleet called the Nisshin Maru. It was developed nearly after WW2, so that Japan could provide food for it's people the oil for the US.
Example of this is that in the 1930s, over 50,000 Whales could of been killed in a single season (which lasted a few months from december to march) but in the 1700s and 1800s, the average quota would of been nearly have of that so around 30,000 whales per year overall. However, these seasons tend to last longer than it does nowadays.
Note: This is based on the numbers of barrels of whale oil was obtained during the 1700s and 1800s.
Whaling is the practice of hunting cetaceans, including whales and dolphins, for their products such as meat, fats, bone, and horns (Narwhals only). It has come under fire in recent years for being allegedly inhumane and illegal in many countries.
What percent of whaling came from Japan?

Japan is the country most prominently involved in whaling. Japan has led an active pro-whaling movement ever since whaling was banned in 1986. Consequently it has gained the support of many other countries such as Iceland and China, but it has also promised financial aid to small, poorer nations of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific countries if they support it in the International Whaling Commission.

What killer whale killed sea world trainer tilikum or shamu?
Shamu is just the stage name. The original Shamu died I think in the 80's it was. Tilikum is the one who killed the trainer. But his stage name is Shamu.
No - Shamu (She - Name) was captured to be a companion for Namu. She didn't get along with him and was purchased by Seaworld San Diego for $75,000. The park had just opened a year before so Shamu was immediately trained to participate in the show. In August 1971, she died from Septicemia and Pyometra at the very young age of 9. She was so popular at SeaWorld, her name carries on as the trade mark name for orcas at Sea World. In other words, they have been lying for years as to the real names of the orcas there. Even the males are called "Shamu". Now that people are starting to realize they are indeed individuals, they can't run from the lie they've told to public for decades.
Tilikum, meanwhile, after the attack and unfortunate death of Dawn Brancheau, has been kept in utter isolation ever since February 24th, 2010. He was also captured from the wild. To read more about him, go to Seeing is Believing, Tilikum's lonely life after Dawn, on The Orca Project.
Shamu killed the trainer and got let into the ocean for killing loads of other trainers too
