The Grey Seal Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius) and the Common Seal Phoca vitulina L. in Troms, northern Norway
Main Article Content
Abstract
Grey and Common Seals in Troms county, northern Norway, were surveyed by boat during the summer 1987. A total of 419 Common Seals were recorded of which 63 or 14% were pups. The breeding season was dated to the second half of June. Twentyfive of the pups were tagged. Onehundredandsixty Grey Seals were counted. As Grey Seals are not usually found at the breeding site throughout the year, those counted might be migratory animals.
