22. Small Cetaceans

(from "Chairman's Report of the Twenty-Fourth Meeting")



Information on cetaceans and catch regulations was provided to the Scientific Committee by several countries. The Committee proposed that members should prepare a summary of the status and catches of their small cetacean operations for inclusion in future progress reports. It also suggested that a sub-committee on small cetaceans be set up to improve data collection on all world catches of these animals and to review species and stock identification and other problems.
