Has Japan ever shared their research from all of the whale hunting they've done?

Question

Japan claims they kill hundreds of whales each year in the name of research. Where is this information published, and are there other researchers that consume their "lab animals" as they do with the whales? I've always wanted to know, and give the Japanese a fair shake. Will they continue to "research"? Or have they discovered what they were searching for?

I do not know but I'm sure they do something to keep up the masquerade.  But it got me wondering.  When rabbits were used to test makeup and other cosmetics did they sell the meat for food, even dog food?

A newsletter from Greenpeace I actually just read today claims that this research is not legitimate and is just a was of disguising that they slaughter these animals for their meat. I think they would be a good source for additional information, however some would say they might be biased in the other direction.

Unfortunately they eat the whales before they do the research.

Gathered below are a wide range of websites devoted to this subject, some of which are Japanese.  You will need to decide for yourself.

Yes they have.  They also found a new species of whale.
