The grey seal Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius) in eastern Canadian waters / authorship, A.W. Mansfield.: Fs52-2/846E-PDF
"The grey seal Halichoerus grypus is found in temperate and sub-arctic waters on both sides of the North Atlantic. The largest population, estimated at 36,000, occurs about the British Isles (Smith 1963) with lesser populations of 3000 at the Faeroes and Iceland (Lockley 1954), 2-3000 along the west and north coasts of Norway (Oynes 1964), and a minimum of 5000 in the Baltic Sea (Hook l964). The species appears to be absent from Greenland but is found again in eastern Canada, ranging from the northern tip of Labrador to as far south as Nantucket. The total population in this area is estimated at about 3000"--Introduction, page 1.
