Hooded seal, Cystophora cristata, feeding and interactions with commercial fisheries in Newfoundland / by G.B. Stenson, I-H. Ni, S-A. Ross and D. McKinnon. : Fs70-8/91-45E-PDF

"Concern over the potential impact of hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) on commercial fisheries has increased in recent years. The primary reasons for this are the assumed increase in abundance since the end of the large-vessel hunt in 1983 and the perception that seals eat a substantial amount of commercially important fish daily. This paper reviews existing knowledge of hooded seal diets, presents the results of the first quantitative examination of hooded seal stomachs in the Newfoundland area, and indicates areas where interaction between hooded seals and commercial fisheries may occur"--Abstract, page 2.
