what is the population of the sei whale
Sei whale Following large-scale commercial whaling during the late 19th and 20th centuries, when over 255,000 whales were taken,[8][9] the sei whale is now internationally protected,[2] although limited hunting occurs under a controversial research program conducted by Japan.[10] As of 2008[update], its worldwide population was about 80,000, nearly a third of its prewhaling population.[11][12]
