To help address these concerns, a group of scientists, fishers, and resource managers created the Northwest Atlantic Seal Consortium in 2012. Its goal is to get and share knowledge on the ecological.
The first step is to determine how much iron is in the adult seals diets and how that changes throughout the year. Gray seals catch and eat a variety of fishes, crustaceans, and squid, all of.
