Japanese authorities have hit back in the public relations war over its "scientific'' whaling program, accusing Australian officials of misleading the public.

The Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR) today denied two whales photographed as they were dragged bleeding into the whale processing vessel Yushin Maru, in the Southern Ocean, were mother and calf.

The two whales were unrelated, ICR director general Minoru Morimoto said, and the variance in size showed only "random sampling'' in practice.

"The photographs taken by the (Australian Customs vessel) Oceanic Viking and which major Australian newspapers published today shows two minke whales, but they are not a mother and her calf as claimed by the media,'' Mr Morimoto said in a statement.
