Japanese whaling vessels returned to port on Saturday after catching more than 300 of the mammals in the Antarctic Ocean without facing any protests by anti-whaling groups, officials said.

A Japanese whaling fleet returned to port on Friday after an annual Antarctic hunt that killed more than 300 of the mammals as Tokyo pursues the programme in defiance of global criticism.

Japanese whalers returned to port today after an Antarctic hunt that killed more than 300 of the mammals, the government said.

Australia is "very disappointed" at Tokyo's decision to resume whaling in the Antarctic Ocean, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said today as he readied for talks with Japanese premier Shinzo Abe.

Australia has threated to take legal action against Japan's resumption of Antarctic whaling.

New Zealand led an international protest today against Japan's plans to resume killing whales in the Southern Ocean, while Australia said it was considering further legal action.
