"Systematic aerial surveys and nonsystematic aerial searches were carried out by helicopter within the Bathurst Island complex, south-central Queen Elizabeth Islands, Northwest Territories,Canada, between 13 and 30 July 1996. The aerial survey/search-efforts were conducted to determine the status of both the Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyl) population and the muskox (Ovibosmoschatus) population within the Bathurst Island complex, with an emphasis on determining the magnitudes of the die-offs during winter 1995/96. ... The Peary caribou population declined in size by ca. 85% and the muskox population by ca. 70% from summer 1994 to summer 1996. Both populations are now at sizes that could sustain only token harvests of 15-25 animais each, depending on the proportions of young and/or male animals in the annual harvest"--Abstract, p. I-ii.
