SEAL FISHERY AND SEAL-BASED PRODUCTS Fereidoon Shahidi Department of Biochemistry Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, NL, A1B3X9

History & Dependence Sealing industry dates back to 1700’s Annual landings vary due to markets and climate Provides income and food to coastal communities Slide 6 Bullet Two -The 2J3KL stock was under moratorium from 1992 to 1997 with virtually no recovery taking place. A small fishery took place in 1998 and 1999 due to some good signs in southern inshore areas. Indication from the fishery suggest there is still no recovery in northern areas where seals are most common.
