ARCTIC A Distinctive Large Breeding Population of Ringed Seals (Phoca hispida)
with pups, inhabiting the pack ice of Baffin Bay. Pack-ice seals re smaller than their fast-ice counterparts and have a different diet and gut parasite load. Age and reproductive data, although limited, indicate that the offshore seals are a normal breeding population, Pack-ice seals probably mix wi...
