Icelandic and Norwegian companies have begun exporting whalemeat to Japan. About 60 tonnes of meat from fin whales caught in the 2006 Icelandic hunt was reportedly sent with a much smaller amount of minke meat from Norway. Industry sources told the BBC that the meat had already arrived in Japan, although a Japanese official said no request to import it had been received. Conservation groups say the trade will damage attempts to bridge the gap between pro- and anti-whaling nations.
