Whale, английский
- A really big "fish"
- A general term for various marine animals of the order cetacea, including the most colossal of all animated beings. from their general form and mode of life they are frequently confounded with fish, from which, however, they differ essentially in their organization, as they are warm-blooded, ascend to the surface to breathe air, produce their young alive, and suckle them, as do the land mammalia. the cetacea are divided into two sections:—1. those having horny plates, called baleen, or “whalebone,” growing from the palate instead of teeth, and including the right whales and rorquals, or finners and hump-backs (see these terms). 2. those having true teeth and no whalebone. to this group belong the sperm-whale, and the various forms of bottle-noses, black-fish, grampuses, narwhals, dolphins, porpoises, &c. to the larger species of many of these the term “whale” is often applied.

Whale processing, английский
After a kill the blubber is flensed into large strips known as blanket pieces, the head is cut off, and major body parts dissected. any ambergris found is stored for refining ashore. the lower jaws are boiled until the teeth can be extracted for making scrimshaw. bones, meat, and blubber are cut to fit cookers known as digesters where they are rendered into a gigantic “stew” in which oil floats to the surface and is “tapped” (drawn off ) into storage tanks. the remainder is a mixture of bits of meat and “gluewater” containing bone pulverized to the size of pepper grains. after processing by centrifuge and hammer mill, the meat (65 percent protein) is bagged for animal fodder. the remaining gluewater is dried into “whale solubles” (85–90 percent protein) also used in feed mixes, but in limited quantity since such a high protein content can be toxic. every part of the animal is used with no waste products whatsoever, and a typical 13-meter (43 foot) sperm whale yields roughly: oil 7,100 kg (7 tons) solubles 2,900 kg (2.9 tons) meat 1,700 kg (1.7 tons) teeth 54 kg (120 lbs) ambergris is sometimes found.
