Despite widespread opposition to the hunt (which
targets other cetacean species, such as white - sided dolphins, as well) and its brutal killing tactics, the Faroese continue the tradition.
These included the combined scientific methodologies and accomplishments of BRS - 07 / 08, as well as simultaneous biological and oceanographic measurements in the study area, detailed movement analysis of individual beaked whale responses, analyses of the vocal repertoires of tagged pilot whales prior to sound exposures, and results on vocal responses of pilot whales and
other target cetacean species to controlled sound exposures.
