2.3.2 Distribution
・・Greenland has about 18 towns/villages and 60 settlements spread along some 44,000km of coastline, many of which are accessible only by sea or air, in some cases only for part of the year. As noted earlier, in two of the more isolated communities, only rifle hunting occurs and thus only common minke whales can be taken; in such cases all products are consumed within the village.in some cases, transportation and sales to other towns and settlements that do not have direct access to whale products or for which there is a shortage. This may be via a co‐operative supermarket chain or two distribution companies that are partially owned by the Greenlandic Government;・・

あと、ちなみに、何の成果も出してないとよく言われている日本の調査捕鯨ですが、グリーンランドのミンク鯨から鯨肉その他が何トン取れるかを推定する際に、信頼できる比較サンプルとして "Bando and Fujise (2009)"の北大西洋のミンク鯨(126頭)のデータは大活躍してましたので、この点は評価されるべきかと。これは致死調査でないと出来ないし、きちんとした環境で測定して、かつサンプル数も多いからかなり信頼性が高いですね(笑)。
