Results of tagging and branding of hooded seals, 1972-1978 / by D.E. Sergeant.: Fs70-8/78-36E-PDF

"About 70 young and adult hooded seals can be marked annually in the Gulf of St. Lawrence with reasonable marking effort using helicopters. With no local catching there are no immediate recaptures. Overall recaptures to date from 346 animals marked since 1972 are 9, of which 8 out of 282 or 2.8% are from animals tagged uniformly with rototags. Recoveries in summer range as far as the Angmagssalik area of east Greenland for animals aged up to 32 years. There are also summer recoveries for both the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Front areas. Winter recoveries from the Strait of Belle Isle and northern Newfoundland accord with the age distribution of small age samples from net fisheries in this area, being a by-catch from netting of harp seals."--Abstract.
