Domesticated Whales?

On my planet, the only animals are plankton, krill, shrimp, etc., but no fish or land animals. The colonists on this planet have brought equipment and embryos from the home world, but the only freezer that didn't malfunction contained the whale embryos. The colonists have to have meat and dairy, which the whales can provide in vast quantities.

My question is this, how can these whales be domesticated and forced to basically be farmed?

What kind of infrastructure would be needed, what kind of selective breeding would be required, and how long would it take? For the purpose of the question, the climate is similar enough to earth to be compared to whales here.
