Abstract

We all know that commercial fisheries are in a sorry state worldwide. What is perhaps less well known to the general public, however, is that, in some parts of the globe, populations of certain marine mammals are in excellent shape or are recovering rapidly. Marine mammals include such species as whales, seals, dolphins and porpoises. For example, the population size of the northwest Atlantic harp seal was recently estimated at around 5.2 million. States like Canada and Norway, therefore, permit a certain number of marine mammals to be hunted each year.
