VISUAL OBSERVATIONS Ancillary Description
Quality The majority of the results of surveys, numbers, demographic values, ecology, and so on has been published in the references list. The investigator still holds tabulations of numbers of pups at different breeding colonies and various other values, necropsy forms completed in the early 60s from seals killed for dog food at Scott Base and some Weddell seal canine teeth, collected in the late 60s, that were used for age determination and, much later, some genetic work, listed in the publications. Please contact the investigator for more information.
