SMALLER CATCHES
Whale Stocks Show Decline (Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, April 1. In spite of the most modern equipment, whaling fleets from Japan, Russia, Norway, and the Netherlands are likely to record far fewer whales caught in the Antarctic, when the season ends on April 7, than during the 196263 season, says Lloyd’s list. Scientific evidence, it says, points to a continued serious decline of several species, including the fin-whale and the blue and humpback whales. The Food and Agriculture Organisation has expressed its concern over the decline of whale stocks, and called for national and international action for conservation “to prevent further and perhaps irreparable damage” to these stocks.
