8. Antarctic Catch Limit (1968)

8. Antarctic Catch Limit

(from "Chairman's Report of the Twentieth Meeting")

The Commission accepted the Technical Committee's recommendation that the catch limit for baleen whales in the Antarctic for the 1968/69 season should be set at 3,200 blue whale units, the same limit as in 1967/68. On the proposal of the Chairman of the Technical Committee seconded by the Commissioner for Norway paragraph 8(a) of the Schedule was amended by deleting "1967/68" and substituting "1968/69".
