Dr. Seiji Ohsumi, Director General of the ICR, said, "It is estimated that whales consume 3 to 5 times the amount of marine resources as are caught for human consumption, so our whale research is providing valuable information required for improving the management of all our marine resources."
Dr. Seiji Ohsumi, ravnatelj ICR-a, je izjavio, "Procjenjuje se da kitovi konzumiraju između 3 do 5 puta više morskih resursa nego što ljudi love radi ljudskog konzumiranja, stoga naše istraživanje kitova daje vrijedne informacije o poboljšanju upravljanja svih naših resursa."
