5. Review of Previous Season's Catch
(from "Chairman's Report of the Nineteenth Meeting")
Mr. Vangstein of the Bureau of International Whaling Statistics gave a short
commentary on the statistics which had been circulated.
He said that the total catch in the Antarctic by the nine pelagic expeditions
was approximately 3,500 blue whale units - the limit fixed by the Commission
for the 1966/67 season.
Fewer sei whales were taken than in the previous season, but rather more fin
whales.
He drew attention to the detailed surveys of the catch in the individual
fields outside the Antarctic.
