A report on the Norwegian minke whale hunt

Trond Bjørndal and Jon M Conrad

Marine Policy, 1998, vol. 22, issue 2, 161-174

Abstract: The Norwegian minke whale hunt was resumed in 1993, despite considerable international opposition. This paper investigates economic aspects of the 1993-1996 hunts. It is shown that the hunts were profitable for the participating vessels. Adverse international effects due to the resumed hunt are discussed, as is the future of commercial whale hunting in Norway.
