Health and status of the Pacific walrus population: Field investigation report, Savoonga, Alaska, 1981

Description

This report provides an account of work undertaken in spring of 1981 in a continuing study of the health and status of the North Pacific walrus population. This segment involved a monitoring of the harvest of walruses by residents of the village of Savoonga on St. Lawrence Island. A harvest monitoring program has been carried out in Savoonga in most years since 1960 and involved placement of an observer in the village during the height of the spring walrus harvest midMay through June to record conditions of the hunt and collect specimen materials such as tusks and canine teeth from a sample of the harvested animals. The methods used are discussed, as well as the results. A study map and data forms are attached.
