This book was released on 2013 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A population model was used to examine changes in the size of the Northwest Atlantic harp seal population between 1952 and 2012. The model incorporated information on reproductive rates, reported removals, estimates of non-reported removals and losses through bycatch in other fisheries to determine the population trajectory. The model was fit to eleven periodic estimates of pup production from 1952 to 2008, and to annual pregnancy rate data collected between 1954 and 2012. The harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) assessment incorporates information on annual age specific reproductive rates, reported harvests, struck and loss, and ice-related mortality of young of the year (YOY), into an age-structured model to estimate total population size. The model is fitted to estimates of pup production obtained from aerial surveys and mark-recapture studies by adjusting the initial population size in 1952 and adult mortality rates.--Document.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to estimate current population size of Northwest Atlantic harp seals using an age structured population model, incorporating recent estimates of reproductive rates, unreported mortality, and pup production. Replacement yields (in units of total removals) and the corresponding levels of reported catch in the Canadian Front and Gulf that would provide such yields are calculated, assuming that other hunt components take the same number of animals as each component did in 1999. In addition, the study presents an estimate of population size in 2005 and 2010 if these replacement yields are taken in the intervening period. Uncertainty in these estimates was determined incorporating the error associated with the available pup production estimates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents working paper reviews and discussions at a meeting held to provide peer review of the 1999 harp seal survey, recent hunt statistics, information on unreported sources of seal mortality, some new developments in analytical methods, and estimates of total population, in order to assess the status of the north-west Atlantic harp seal population. Topics of papers include estimates of harp seal by-catch, estimates of harp seals struck & lost in the seal hunt, catch at age of harp seals, seal reproductive & pregnancy rates, harp seal pup production, and population estimation methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not possible to survey the entire harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) population, but the number of pups born in a year can be estimated via aerial surveys conducted in the spring, when the seals gather on the ice to have their pups. This information is incorporated in a population model that also integrates information on age specific reproductive rates and total removals from the population, including animals that have been killed but not recovered. This report presents an estimate of total population of northwest Atlantic harp seals based on aerial surveys carried out in 2004.

Book excerpt: This bulletin first reviews the harp seal hunt & commercial catches in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Canadian Arctic, and the Greenland area. It then discusses the status of the north-west Atlantic harp seal resource with reference to population estimates, pup production in 1999, population dynamics, population models, and prey consumption. Finally, an outlook for the harp seal resource is presented.

Book excerpt: Information on catch levels and the age structure of the catch (catch-at-age) is necessary for accurate population estimation and responsible management of the harp seal (Phoca groenlandica) in the Northwest Atlantic. Harp seals are hunted off southern Labrador and the northeast coast of Newfoundland (the Front), in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, along west and southeast Greenland, and the eastern Canadian Arctic. This report summarizes available harp seal catch and catch-at-age statistics from 1952 to 1999 for each of these areas.
