"Japan has clearly had some success in getting countries to join on its side of the argument, and that has changed the balance of the commission somewhat," acknowledged New Zealand's commissioner, Jim McLay. Waiting in the wings and thought likely to join the IWC are Namibia, Gabon and Senegal. "We'll see who shows up next time," said McLay. Those who do show up in Shimonoseki will find themselves in a port famous for fugu, the poisonous Japanese blowfish that can be fatal...
