              TOKYO, Japan - A minke whale, catch during Japan's self-described "research whaling" activities, is landed at Kushiro port, Hokkaido, in September 2010. Three-quarters of more than 1,200 tons of meat from whales caught during such activities in the Northwest Pacific remains unsold, although the whaling organizer began inviting bids for the meat in 2011, according to the Iruka & Kujira (Dolphin & Whale) Action Network, a Japanese anti-whaling group. The Tokyo-based Institute of Cetacean Research has organized 13 rounds of public auctions since October, but 908.8 tons, or 75.0 percent of the 1,211.9 tons offered, remain unsold, according to a report compiled by freelance journalist Junko Sakuma and released by the group.
