Recovery strategy for the Harbour Seal, Lacs des Loups Marins subspecies (Phoca vitulina mellonae) : Harbour Seal, Lacs des Loups Marins subspecies.: En3-4/259-2017E-PDF
"The Harbour Seal of the Lacs des Loups Marins (Phoca vitulina mellonae) is a subspecies of the Harbour Seal living exclusively in freshwater. This population is unique worldwide because its distribution range is entirely within Quebec and even there is quite limited, extending only throughout a chain of lakes and rivers in Nunavik, some 250 km east of Hudson Bay. Researchers estimate that the Lacs des Loups Marins Harbour Seal population was isolated from its original marine habitat between 3,000 and 8,000 years ago. Estimates of current population size contain a high margin of error and range from 50 and 600 individuals"--Executive summary, p. ii.
