Record #130520:

Status of the Harbour Seal, Phoca vitulina, in Greenland / Jonas Teilmann, Rune Dietz.

Title: Status of the Harbour Seal, Phoca vitulina, in Greenland / Jonas Teilmann, Rune Dietz.
Author(s): Teilmann, Jonas.
Dietz, Rune.
Date: 1994.
In: Canadian Field-Naturalist. (1994.), Vol. 108(2) (1994)
Abstract: Harbour Seal has never been as abundant in Greenland as other species of seal, but it is highly prized for fine, silky hair, part of Greenland national costume, and is tastiest of seal meats. It is only seal that hauls out on land in Greenland, so is particularly vulnerable. It has been seen around three quarters of island's coast, but mainly in south-west. 9 out of 23 known breeding places have been abandoned. Catch has declined from 300 in 1940s to 40 per annum. Some municipalities now have sanctuaries and hunting regulations.
