Valkokeri
Valkokeri är ett slags moderfartyg till valfångstfartyg där fångade valar slaktas och köttet bereds innan det fraktas vidare i land.[1] De första valkokerierna var ombyggda handelsfartyg, men efterhand byggdes specialfartyg med en ramp eller slip i aktern för att få upp valarna i fartyget.[2] På övre däck skedde själva flänsningen och styckningen och på mellersta däck den industriella bearbetningen. Valoljan, som var den viktigaste produkten, förvarades i stora tankar på nedersta däck.

Japan Factory Ship Nisshin Maru Whaling Mother and Calf.jpg

An adult and sub-adult Fin whale (as determined by the change in baleen colour on the right side of the animals and lack of white 'mittens' on the pectoral fins) are dragged aboard the Nisshin Maru, a Japanese whaling vessel that is the world's only factory whaling ship. The wound that is visible on the calf's side was reportedly caused by an explosive-packed harpoon.
This image was taken by Australian customs agents in 2008, under a surveillance effort to collect evidence of indiscriminate harvesting, which is contrary to Japan's claim that they are collecting the whales for the purpose of scientific research. In 2010, Australia filed a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice hoping to halt Japanese whaling; this photograph will undoubtedly play a key role in that pending case.
