Research on hooded seals in the western North Atlantic in 1977 / by D.E. Sergeant.: Fs70-8/77-23E-PDF

"A whelping concentration of hooded seals in Davis Strait has now been located in three years of successful search and can probably be regarded as a constant feature. Latitude of formation is about 63 to 64°N while longitude varies with ice conditions in the particular year, the seals necessarily being close to the eastern border of the pack ice. Complete aerial photography is still needed to estimate numbers of seals which are probably in the range of 10,000 to 20,000 whelping adults"--Abstract.
