Taiji | Seasonal Results - Ceta-Base | Captive Dolphin & Whale Database

This page compiles seasonal drive hunt activity recorded in Taiji, Japan, including reported captures, killings, live captures, and releases documented throughout each hunting season. Seasonal summaries and daily records are presented below.

Seasonal drive hunt data presented by Ceta-Base are compiled from publicly available land-based observer reports documenting hunting activity in Taiji, Japan. Sources include independent monitoring organizations, field observers, media documentation, and contemporaneous daily reports published throughout each hunting season.

Reported figures represent independent eyewitness estimates rather than official government catch statistics. Pod sizes are recorded using the upper value of reported ranges (e.g., reports of 20–25 animals are recorded as 25) to maintain consistency across observations.

Daily records are compiled chronologically and categorized by reported outcome, including driven animals, slaughtered individuals, live captures, releases, and deaths occurring during capture or handling. Released animals are not included in quota totals.

Differences between independent observations and officially published statistics may occur due to reporting delays, classification differences, or limited public disclosure. Where comparable official data become available, summary comparisons may be provided.

Ceta-Base maintains this archive as an independent historical record intended for research, documentation, and public reference.

Reporting Definitions

Drive hunt categories are defined as follows:

Driven — Number of animals driven into the cove (estimated total pod size).
Kill — Number of animals slaughtered on site and processed for sale (counts toward quota).
Died — Number of animals that died during capture or after live-capture handling (counts toward quota).
Capt — Number of animals selected for live capture for marine facilities (counts toward quota).
Release — Number of animals released following selection or slaughter operations (does not count toward quota).
