Abstract
Trends in size of the more important stocks of British grey seals [Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius 1791)] are presented. Together with their West Atlantic counterparts they are increasing exponentially. Attempts to control sotck size indicate they are best reduced by adult culls and not by pup hunting.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
