Institutes the OF Cetacean Research (ICR, jap. Nihon geirui kenkyujo"Â… Japanese Walforschungsinstitut) is a Japanese Non profit organization, which the scientific Untersuchunge of the whales dedicates itself. It was created 1947 as Whale Research of institutes, which again 1941 Nakabe Scientific Research Centre created from that came out.

The Whales Research of institutes got its data from commercial whale-catching of Japan, until 1986 took place after the prohibition of commercial whale-catching via the international whale-catching commission the reestablishment institutes of the OF Cetacean Research. Institut took over the entire whale-catching fleet of the country and hunts now for scientific purposes themselves whales.

Critics accuse Japan that it concerns thereby only an evasion of the catch quotas and further commercial whale-catching is operated. Suitably also the Internet side of the institute, which seems to dedicate itself to more the difficulties with Greenpeace, is as any research. Results like "give at least two easily different [populations] of Antarctic dwarf whales" sound rather insignificant in the comparison to the number of hunted whales. Also the reproach was repeated expressed the research of the institute is occupied less with whales than rather with the pseudoscientific authentication of whale-catching. In this connection the statement set up whales would consume "about six times as much fish" as mankind. Consciously is ignored that the species composition resembles the whale food in no case of the composition of the human fish food, then eat Pottwale for example giant ink fish.
