Dear Youri,
I have just written a brief overview of marine exploitation (cetaceans as
well as fish and birds) in Scotland for the Oxford Encyclopaedia edited by
Umberto Albarella. It is not published yet, but I would be happy to let
you have the references to cetaceans. Let me know if that would help.
