Distribution of Hooded seals in Svalbard waters
View through CrossRef
Hooded seals are distributed from eastern Canada to West Greenland, up along East Greenland and throughout the Greenland and Norwegian Seas. In the literature Hooded seals are stated as not belonging to the Svalbard fauna, but that they in some years can be numerous along the ice from the west coast of Spitsbergen southwards toward Bjørnøya. An attempt is made to map the distribution of Hooded seals in the Svalbard area based on information from sealing vessel logbooks, travel journals, scientific literature, trappers’ diaries and opportunistic interviews with former sealers and trappers.
