Description

A muskox survey was conducted on Nunivak Island Aug. 2122 by Lee Hotchkiss and Mike Smith. This year we digressed from the usual method of attempting to make a complete head count, and instead got a representative sample with which to estimate the total population and production. 66 herds or individuals were sighted for a total of 406 muskox of which 79 or 19.5 were calves. Assuming the same proportion of calves to adult in the animals missed as those counted, a population of 675 musk ox including 110 calves is estimated for summer 1980.
