Pup production and population growth of hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) near Newfoundland, Canada
Pup production of hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) in two whelping concentrations along the northeast coast of Newfoundland (the "Front") during March 1990 was estimated using systematic visual surveys. In addition, independent estimates of production in one of the concentrations and the...
