Description: Whales caught 2010-2014, by country, showing species caught most often by each country Sources: IWC Summary "Catch Database" version 6.1, July 2016,[1] which includes great whales, orcas, bottlenose whales, pilot whales, and Baird's Beaked Whales. This database is fairly complete back to 1900, and has some pre-1900 counts, especially for the US back to 1848, and for Norway back to 1864, and partial data before 1900 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] and bycatch in Korea.[6] Korea is the only country where bycatch changes the graph noticeably.
