Merging

I think it should be expanded like Whaling in Iceland, se also Category:Whaling by country. The article as it is now is quite bad, but I'll think the subject can be expanded to a descent article. - Kristod (talk) 18:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article has a potential on it's own. I'll remove the merge tag, as there has been no input to the discussion arguing for the merger. Delta Tango • Talk 15:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrote some small details - there are no legal barriers to Norway exporting whalemeat or blubber to Japan.SammytheSeal 19:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quota Figures

What is the source of the Whaling quota and catches?

I would like to know. Thankyou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.25.199.179 (talk) 16:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically : I Nordøst- og Sentral-Atlanteren, hvor den norske fangsten foregår, anslås bestanden til henholdsvis 107 000 :og 72 000 dyr (2004). (Nytt bestandsestimat kommer i 2008.) The IWC page is out of date SammytheSeal (talk) 21:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Updates

I plan to expand this article to provide much more information on the history of Norwegian whaling to include:
Ancient history
Spitsbergen & foreign whalers in Norwegian waters
Svend Foyn and the introduction of modern whaling technology
Finnmark & the first whaling restrictions
Expansion to Iceland
S. Africa
Antarctica
Involvement in the ICRW & IWC
and more...

Bottlenose whaling

Ellis' (1991, p. 262) probable source (see his bibliography) was Roy Chapman Andrews' Whale Hunting with Gun and Camera (1916, pp. 258-59): "In 1891, from Norway alone, seventy ships [all the following are my italics] sailed for bottlenoses and killed a total of three thousand animals." And here: "The bottlenose ships are small schooners of thirty to fifty tons, carrying several small boats and usually armed with six guns fore and aft; in addition, each boat has a gun mounted on the very bow."

Wow, thanks for the clarifying source on this. The quote from Ellis' Men and Whales (1991, p. 262): "By 1890, there were some seventy Norwegian boats accounting for about 3,000 whales per year. Bottlenose whaling was done from rowing boats, which enabled the whalers to approach the skittish bottlenoses more closely than they could have done in noisy steamers." -- There is no mention of schooners and no footnote. Whale Hunting with Gun and Camera is listed in the Bibliography. Good call! Cetamata (talk) 03:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IWC – Norway Minke Whale Catches Under Objection (1986–2010)

What do you mean by under objection??? The citation link is dead.
