    Good News
    The Japanese scientists identified a new species long-standing debate by showing that other whales previously referred to as Bryde's whale are indeed distinct species: (B. brydei) and (B. edeni).

    Bad News
    Baker said that understanding the abundance of the various Balaenoptera species is critical because the Japanese have proposed to the International Whaling Commission (IWC) a commercial hunt of Bryde's whales.
