This database contains information on pup production estimates, adult male counts and harvests (commercial and subsistence) for the Pribilof Islands of St. Paul and St. George. Methodology for the data collection for adult males and animals harvested has been consistent over time. The estimation of pup production has gone through an evolution of methodology that is indicated in the database.
