Whale meat and fish on sale at a market in Bergen, Norway.

Whaling refers to the hunting of whales for their meat and other qualities which are useful to humans, such as oil. Today, whaling remains part of the cultures of Japan, Norway and Iceland, and in addition some Aboriginal communities also hunt whales.
