MARC recordDemography and viability of a hunted population of polar bears / Mitchell K. Taylor, and 7 others.
| Title: | Demography and viability of a hunted population of polar bears / Mitchell K. Taylor, and 7 others. |
| Author(s): | Taylor, Mitchell K. |
| Date: | 2005. |
| In: | Arctic. (2005.), Vol. 58(2) (2005) |
| Abstract: | Study estimated demographic parameters and harvest risks for polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in Baffin Bay, Canada and Greeenland, 1974-1997. Capture and mark-recapture analysis on 1221 polar bears provided data on age- and sex-specific survival and recruitment. Using estimated harvest of 88 bears/yr in Baffin Bay, current hunt is sustainable, as 0.95 probability that population would decline no more than could be recovered in five years. |
