ARCTIC VOL. 50, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 1997) P. 234 – 240 Re-Estimating the Size of the Polar Bear Population in Western Hudson Bay
ABSTRACT. A mark-recapture study of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) ashore during the ice-free period of Hudson Bay was undertaken in 1994 and 1995 to re-estimate the size of the western Hudson Bay population. Previous estimates were based on animals caught between the Churchill and Nelson Rivers; con...
