520 |aTrends in the abundance of Northwest Atlantic harp seals for the period 1960 to 1998 were estimated using survey estimates pup production, and annual estimates of pregnancy rates and age structure of the catch. These data were fit to a two parameter age structured population model under two different assumptions of pup mortality. In one model formulation pup mortality was assumed to be equal to that of seals one year of age or older (1+) while in the second pup mortality rate was assumed to be 3 times the 1+ mortality rate. The uncertainty associated with the population trajectory from the first formulation was estimated by randomly resampling from within the sampling error of the available pup production estimates. Replacement and sustainable yields were estimated using both model formulations under differing assumptions of the age structure of the harvest. The impact of assuming different levels of unreported mortality on population trends was also examined.
