Blood samples from 208 harp seals taken in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and 175 taken off the east coast of Newfoundland showed no significant difference in frequency distributions of the serum transferrins or in gene frequencies. The samples were collected in the pupping season and analyzed by zone ele...
