Main Article Content
Abstract
Grey and Common Seals in Sogn og Fjordane county, western Norway, were surveyed by boat during the summers 1985 and 1986. Thirteen Common Seal localities were recorded with a total count of 369 seals of which 53 or 14.4% were pups. The breeding season at two of the localities in 1985 was dated to the last week of June. About 50 Grey Seals were recorded in the Håsteinen-Ryggsteinen area. Grey Seals were not observed during aerial surveys in the breeding season. Twenty-four Common Seal pups and one Grey Seal were tagged.
