New study harpoons Antarctic minke population boom
Researchers used genetics to determine pre-whaling numbers for Antarctic minke whales and concluded that the current population is not unusually abundant. In the ongoing debate about whale management, it has been suggested that commercial whaling of larger animals led to a population explosion in the number of smaller minke whales that is currently inhibiting the recovery of depleted species. Now, there is good reason to dismiss the argument that minkes need to be killed in order to save blue, sei, fin and humpback whales as specious.
