A QUESTION
TO PONDER
THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES AND OCEANS POSES THIS INTRIGUING SCIENCE QUESTION:

ARE SEALS FISH?
(Click here for the fascinating answer.)







Below are the harp seal kill quotas and reported kills since 1952. (Quotas were instituted in 1971.) The actual kills do not include seals that were 'struck and lost' (i.e., injured by sealers but escaped, possibly dying later of their injuries, or just sunk and not retrieved). The Canadian government guesstimates that the number of struck and lost seals is about 5% of the seals landed.

This table is taken from the IFAW report Seals and Sealing 2007
