High-Res Stock Photography: Fin whale inestines close up
Title:

Fin whale inestines, close-up
Caption: Intestines, Fin Whale, Whaling Station, Hvalfjordur fjord, Iceland. In October 2006 the Icelandic government issued licenses for a commercial whale hunt in addition to the continuing scientific program. Over the twelve-month period ending in August 2007, Icelandic whalers have been authorized by the Icelandic government to hunt and sell 9 Fin Whales. Although fin whales are considered endangered on a worldwide basis, that is not the case in Icelandic waters. Their numbers in the ocean around the island have grown to a stable level. The Fin Whale population in the North Atlantic was estimated to be 23,000 in 2001. According to the Icelandic Marine Research Institute the taking of up to 150 Fin Whales a year in the Icelandic resources jurisdiction is sustainable. The Icelandic government has allowed the taking of just 9 Fin Whales which is 6% of the number approved by the institute.
