Recent estimates of reproductive rates for harp seals in the northwest Atlantic / B. Sjare, G.B. Stenson, and W.G. Warren.: Fs70-1/2000-077E-PDF
The pregnancy rate and mean age of sexual maturity of harp seals are two important reproductive parameters with respect to the management of this species in the northwest Atlantic. They may be useful indices of population change, and in addition, pregnancy rate data are incorporated into the current harp seal population model. This research document provides new data on these parameters, describes the Department of Fisheries and Ocean’s (DFO’s) general reproductive sampling protocol and presents new data on pregnancy rates and mean age of sexual maturity from 1995-1997.
