100 Years of Antarctic Whaling: On 27 November 1904, the Norwegian harpoon gunner on the whale catcher Fortuna, of the Compañia Argentina de Pesca, shot the first whale taken by modern methods in the Antarctic. Whaling has been carried on in the Antarctic during the past 100 seasons, and to commemorate this centennial, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Fisheries Agency of Japan, together with the Institute of Cetacean Research, convened an international symposium in Tokyo on December 2, 2004. Japan commenced Antarctic whaling 70 years ago, in 1934/35. The following symposium papers were presented: "The development of Norwegian Antarctic whaling in its early period", Lars Walløe (Norway); "Competing with Norway for Antarctic whale oil: Britain and Germany", Klaus Barthelmess (Germany); "International control of whaling in the Antarctic", Ray Gambell (U.K); "Advancement of Japanese style whaling into the Antarctic: its history and future", Seiji Ohsumi (Japan); The discussion was moderated by Masayuki Komatsu (Japan). The symposium proceedings are to be published. In October 2005, the Christensen’s Whaling Museum in Sandefjord, Norway, will hold another symposium to commemorate the centennial of modern Antarctic whaling.
