　　Japan halts(暂停) whale hunt after chase by protesters

　　TOKYO—Japan has halted its annual Antarctic whale hunt following protests from a campaign group. Activists from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society，a US­based environmental group, have been chasing the Japanese fishing ship.

　　Commercial whaling was banned in 1986 but Japan uses a regulation permitting hunting for scientific research.

　　Iceland and Norway have claimed official objections to the ban and continue to hunt commercially.

　　“Putting safety as a priority, the ship has halted scientific whaling for now. We are currently considering what to do，” Tatsuya Nakaoku, an official at the fisheries agency, told Reuters news agency.

　　The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says one of its boats has been blocking the ship loading ramp(斜梯) ，preventing any hunted whales from being loaded on to the ship. “Every whale saved is a victory to us, so we've gotten a lot of victories down here this year，” Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson told Reuters news agency by satellite phone from the Steve Irwin ship.
