The report describes how fine-scale harbour seal usage maps around Orkney and the north coast of Scotland, UK, can be used and interpreted, the caveats and limitations, and methodology used to produce them (Appendix A). 1. Harbour seal movement...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 20 Since the last comprehensive assessment of grey seal diet around Britain in 2002, grey seal numbers have continued to rise in the North Sea while harbour seal numbers have declined in Shetland,...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 19 In this report the work to address the following objectives is described: • To compare harbour and grey seal diet composition, regionally and seasonally; • To compare harbour and grey seal diet...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 21 The objective of this study was to provide seasonal and regional estimates of harbour seal diet composition and regional estimates of prey consumption, and to investigate how harbour seal diet (...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 17 There is currently considerable uncertainty regarding the potential for lethal and injurious interactions between marine mammals and tidal turbines. This uncertainty is particularly concerning...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 24 In late 2014, observations of grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) predation on conspecifics which produced similar wounds provided a plausible alternative explanation of the likely cause of spiral...
