Italian translation:v. sotto

Explanation:
credo in realtà che l'espressione idiomatica sia "fall short of" – mancare, non riuscire a ottenere

quindi credo che andrebbe tradotto così:

nel 2006-07 le baleniere giapponesi hanno catturato oltre 500 balene in meno rispetto alla loro quota illegale

anche se, senza contesto, non sono sicura che funzioni :-(
