PREFACE

The present publication, International Whaling Statistics No. XXXI,relates to whaling operations in the Antarctic in the season 1951-52and on grounds outside the Antarctic in 1952.

The Spanish company " Industrial Ballenera de Corcubién " has,according to information, been operating at Canelinas Bay, Spain, butthe Committee has been unable to get statistical details of the catchand production. Otherwise the Committee has received information asto the number of whales killed and the oil production from all compa-nies engaged on grounds outside the Antarctic during 1952.

From the following companies the Committee has, however, notsucceeded in getting statements which show the size of the whales cap-tured: c` Ballenera Paracas S.A.," shore station at Paracas Bay in Peru,—" Compania Industrial," shore station Quintay," Chile,—" Balleneradel Estrecho," shore station " Getares," Algeciras, Spain,—and the com-panies operating from the Azores and Madeira. With these exceptionsthe statistics for the year 1952 should be complete.

On pages 27-29 is included a new table showing the production ofby-products on the different grounds outside the Antarctic during theseasons 1947-1952. Supplied with the Antarctic figures, this table showsthe total quantity of by-products for all whaling grounds.

INTRODUCTION

The present publication comprises the world aggregate whalingresults in 1952. It includes the Antarctic operations in the season 1951—52 and the operations on grounds outside the Antarctic in the calen-dar year 1952. Details respecting the Antarctic catch were given inInternational Whaling Statistics No. XXX, while the results for otherwhaling grounds in 1952 are presented here.

The usual tables illustrating the development of whaling from 1937—38 to and including 1951-52 have been enclosed on pages 11-26 as anannex to this introduction.

Owing to the high prices of oil and by-products, there has in the post-war years been considerably greater whaling activity on grounds outsidethe Antarctic than in the years prior to 1940. In 1951 50 shore stations,7 floating factories, and 210 catchers were employed in these areas, thelargest whaling material so far recorded in post-war years. A heavy fallin the oil prices at the beginning of 1952 resulted, however, in a di-minished whaling activity outside the Antarctic. Thus, the whalingmaterial in operation in the season 1952 was reduced to 46 shore sta-tions, 4 floating factories, and 139 catchers. See annexed table a, page11. The Committee draws the attention to the fact that in this tablethe figures relating to the number of shore stations and the number ofcatchers employed in waters outside the Antarctic have been revisedfor the seasons 1946-1951. It appears the the data published in earliervolumes concerning the Japanese waters for these seasons have recordeda too low number of shore stations and a too high number of catchers.Corresponding corrections have also been made in respect to Japan intable o, page 24.

Seven companies, which carried on whaling in 1951 from a shorestation at each of the grounds French Congo, St. Thomé, Scotland,Faroe Islands, Newfoundland, Labrador, and California did not resumewhaling in 1952. Moreover, 3 floating factories were engaged in sperm-whale catch off the coast of Peru in 1951. None of them were, how-ever. operating on this ground in 1952.

On the other hand, 2 new companies commenced whaling in 1952in the Australian waters, one of them from a shore station on More-

8

ton Island, East Australia, and the other from a shore station inFrenchman Bay, South Australia.

A new Spanish company operated in 1952 with 2 catchers fromCanelinas Bay, Spain. As mentioned in the preface the Committee has,however, not received any statistical reports from this company.

In 1952 whaling was carried on from the following grounds outsidethe Antarctic:Africa: Natal, Cape Province, French Congo, Spanish Morocco.Brazil: Paraiba, Sta Catarina.North Atlantic and Arctic: Azores, Madeira, Spain, Norway, Faroe Is-

lands, Iceland, West Greenland, Newfoundland.Pacific _North: British Columbia, Kamtchatka, Kuril Islands, Japan,

Bonin Island.Other grounds: Chile, Peru, Australia, New Zealand.

Apart from the grounds Portugal, Scotland and California, whichwere operated in 1951 but not in 1952, and the Sta Catarina groundwhere no whaling was carried on in 1951, the atove-mentioned whalinggrounds are the same as those operated in the previous season.

The following table gives a survey of the number of whales killedduring the period 1937/38-1951/52. Specification is given for the Ant-arctic and other grounds, and for baleen whales and sperm-whales.

The total number of whales killed on all whaling grounds has in-creased considerably during the post-war years. In 1950-51 it reacheda maximum of 55,795, but fell to 49,752 in 1951-52. As will be seenfrom the table, this decrease of 6,043 whales is entirely due to theconsiderable drop in the sperm-whale catch outside the Antarctic in1951-52.

It appears from the table, page 8, that the whaling outside the Ant-arctic during the post-war years has been carried on to a far greaterextent than during the last pre-war years, and that this whaling hasconstituted a considerably higher share of the total world catch during

the post-war years than before the war. The increased activity ongrounds outside the Antarctic in recent years applies to baleen- as wellas sperm-whale catch. In 1951 an exceptionally high number of sperm-whales was killed-13,296 animals—, a result of the activities of theabove-mentioned three floating factories operating off the coast of Peru.In 1952, when whaling along the coast of Peru was insignificant, thenumber of sperm-whales killed dropped to 6,041. On the other hand,the catch of baleen whales in 1952 was almost equal to that of 1951.

In the annexed tables j—v, pages 20-29, particulars are given inrespect to the individual whaling grounds in each area outside the Ant-arctic. These tables also contain retrospective figures for a series ofyears. The Committee does not consider it necessary to make detailedcomments on the whaling results of the season 1952, but will call theattention only to the more significant variations in the catch duringthe last season as compared with the previous season or seasons.

On the whaling grounds in the North Atlantic and Arctic the totalcatch in each of the seasons 1948-1951 was between 1,575 and 1,751whales. In 1952, however, only 780 whales were killed. This decreaseis mainly due to the limited activity on the grounds off Newfoundlandand the Faroe Islands in 1952.

The whaling results on the coast of Africa also decreased in 1952,the number of whales killed being 2,945 against 4,639 in 1951, 4,122in 1950, and 4,966 in 1949. This decrease was primarily due to thereduced catch on the Congo ground, but also on the Natal ground adecline in the catch was registered. From Cape Province, however, anot insignificant increase was reported in 1952. Regarding the opera-tions on the African coast, particular attention is drawn to the whalingin the Congo field. In 1949 and 1950 8 catchers captured about 1,400humpback whales. In 1951 14 catchers captured 1,105 humpbacks. In1952, on the other hand, 7 catchers killed only 265 humpbacks. Inearlier periods we find a similar decline in the catch. It seems thatthe stock of humpback whales on the Congo ground within a shortperiod will be overtaxed.

Off Kamtchatka 2 floating factories were operating in 1952, as com-pared with 1 floating factory in the other post-war years. From thisground (Kuril Islands included) the catch amounted to 3,430 whales in1952 against 2,583 whales in 1951, 2,357 in 1950, and 2,015 in 1949.The grounds off Kamtchatka and round the Bonin Island are situatedin the area in the Pacific North in which pelagic whaling on baleenwhales is permitted.

1 0

In the Australian waters 1.787 humpback whales were killed in1952, as compared with 1,224 in 1951. -With exception of the seasons1914, 1936, and 1937 this is the largest annual catch in the Australianfield. As previously mentioned, 2 new companies commenced whalinghere in 1952, and 4 companies in all were operating during this season.

In the annexed table r, vq.);e 27 , it is. for the first time, given asurvey on the production of by-products in all whaling grounds in theAntarctic as well as in the different grounds outside the Antarctic.This survey refers to the post-war years 1945'46-1951/52.
