Description:
Toothed-whales and dolphins have been hunted for human consumption in Japan, and their muscles (red meats) are highly contaminated with mercury (Hg). We investigated the distribution and toxicity of Hg in rats after oral administration of Hg-contaminated whale red meat marketed for human consumption in Japan. Rats were orally administered the red meat homogenate for seven consecutive days (0.5g red meat/kg-bw/day). The red meat administered to rats contained 81@mg/g of total mercury (T-Hg) and 13.4@mg/g of methyl mercury (M-Hg). This dose corresponds to the human consumption of 210g red meat/60kg-bw/week, exceeding by about 29 times the provisional tolerable weekly intake of M-Hg at 1.6@mg/kg-bw/week set by JECFA [JECFA, 2003. Joint FAO/WHO expert committee on food additives. 61st meeting, Rome]. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, the distribution of T-Hg in rat organs and biochemical parameters in serum were analyzed. The administration of red meat significantly elevated T-Hg concentrations in the liver, kidney, erythrocytes, cerebral cortex and medulla oblongata from the control levels but did not elevate the T-Hg concentration in serum, showing the typical distribution pattern of M-Hg, not of inorganic Hg. The administration slightly but significantly increased GTP activity and P concentration and decreased BUN concentration in serum, although no abnormalities were observed in rat body weight gain and movement during the 7days. The occasional consumption of red meat from small cetaceans, therefore, could pose a health problem for not only pregnant women but also for the general population. Top to learn more

Meat Market Despite the low quality of dolphin meat and the high level of mercury it contains, hunters do kill dolphins for their meat and then distribute it to restaurants, grocers and even schools. Citizens who purchase dolphin meat are often unaware of its high mercury levels, or believe they are purchasing the healthier whale meat. The dolphin meat is shared among all inhabitants equally, and locals often barter the meat for other necessities. For example, people who live in the mountains of Malaita in the Solomon Islands will bring vegetables and other crops down to the shore where they trade their wares for dolphin meat. org reports that the meat is often mislabeled and sold as whale meat, which is more valuable and nutritious. Centuries ago, dolphin meat was often eaten for subsistence and in some smaller villages and islands. Fishermen also sometimes buy the meat and use it as bait in crab pots or for other types of fishing. org , work to help people in dolphin hunting communities learn about other ways to earn money without harming dolphins, including establishing dolphin-watching tours and sustainable fishing practices. org, also educates the public and tries to dispel the belief that dolphins are eating all the fish — all in the hopes that the areas that still allow dolphin hunting will one day be able to give it up as other countries have. Presently, most show dolphins are born in captivity, but some are purchased through dolphin hunts.
The consumption of whale meat, including dolphin meat, is low. Calculations based on statistics released by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), show the consumption of whale and dolphin meat is only about 1% that of pork, and accounts for less than 0.
We don't eat the dolphin meat. such practices have not only depleted the marine fish stocks we eat, but also threatens species that we do not eat but those which are crucial to a healthy marine ecosystem. And dolphins are just one example. For example, dolphins that are caught on nets and trawlers, most often get killed. Oceans thus ensured that life on the earth continue. Our appetite in fact is so large that it now threatens the very existence of the ocean life. Mermaids and dolphins. Even now, life under the ocean continue to capture our imagination.
I think the conspiracy about dolphin being sold disguised as whale meat is not convincingly proven in The Cove . I doubt that dolphins would be hunted in Wakayama unless there was demand for their meat. Still, I don't really know how much dolphin meat is consumed in Japan, but I would expect it to be very little. I think there's some truth in it. Despite great opposition, Japan continues whaling even though almost no-one in Japan would care if whaling ended.
Stoecklin said that anglers and spearfishers often order their fish skeletons posed in action scenes, such as a redfish chasing a crab, or a dolphin in hot pursuit of a flying fish. "A lot of people buy them as gifts," Stoecklin said.
WDCS (the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society) has learned that Iceland's fin whale hunt is to be postponed indefinitely and a number of workers at the Hvalur whaling company will lose their jobs in a move which reflects the slow demise of the
“There is a reason that tourists cannot find whale meat on the menu at home - it is illegal to sell whale products in most countries”, said Sue Fisher, whaling campaign lead for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society. “Every exotic whale dish
