which includes great whales, orcas (mostly caught by Norway and USSR), bottlenose whales (mostly Norway), pilot whales (mostly Norway in that database), and Baird's Beaked Whales (mostly Japan). This database also has some pre-1900 counts, not shown here, especially for the US back to 1848, and for Norway back to 1864, and partial data for other countries.
The IWC database is supplemented by Faroese catches of pilot whales,[2]
Greenland's and Canada's catches of Narwhals (data 1954-2014),[3]
Belugas from multiple sources shown in the Beluga whale article, Indonesia's catches of sperm whales,[4][5]
bycatch in Japan 1980-2008,[6][7][8]
and bycatch in Korea 1996-2017.[6][9]
The IWC database includes illegal whaling from USSR and Korea.[1] This is supplemented by academic findings on Korea for 1999-2003.[10][11]
Note that most species of dolphins are omitted. Otherwise the main areas of missing data are: bycatch in other countries (generally much smaller), narwhals before 1954; belugas in Canada and USA before 1970, and in Nunavut (Canada) for all years; belugas in USSR in Bering, East Siberian and Laptev Seas and Sea of Okhotsk outside Amur River area.
