| Japan has ended its whaling season in the north Pacific Ocean after capturing and killing 177 whales.
The number of whales killed had been previously stipulated for the hunt, which Japan says is carried out in the name of scientific research.
This year, 43 minke whales and 134 sei whales were killed, Japan's fisheries ministry said.
Whaling is formally allowed in Japan despite an international moratorium banning the killing of whales for commercial purposes, in place since 1986, and repeated public protests against it.
Critics say Japan uses a loophole in the charter of the International Whaling Commission by claiming that the killings are carried out for research purposes.
