Japan is explicitly stating this is a nationalistic thing.

Japan is fishing in water tens of thousands of kilometers
away from Japan. Funny how they refuse to acknowledge
Australian sovereignty but want the RAN to protect them
from Greenpeace

not fish. Whales are highly intelligent and socialable mammals.
