Bowen 1990). This rapid population growth has been accompanied by concerns that Grey Seals are having a negative impact on the commercial fishing industry (Malouf 1986). Understanding Grey Seals and the interactions between Grey Seals and commercial fisheries requires information on the distribution and seasonal movements of Grey Seals. On Sable Island all pups born between 1977 and 1990 have been marked with uniquely numbered flipper tags (N=61 637; Stobo et al. 1990). Recently, Stobo et al. (1990), using infor- mation from tag and bounty recoveries summarized the distribution and seasonal movements of Sable Island Grey Seals and included some information on Grey Seals from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Grey Seal pups have also been tagged in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and along the Nova Scotia eastern shore. Here, we provide more information from bounty and tag recoveries and include results from telephone and fishermen questionnaires to describe the distri- bution and movements of Grey Seals born and tagged in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and along the Nova Scotia eastern shore. Methods Pups were marked with hot iron brands (1971- 1972; N=484) or individually numbered tags stamped with an address for return of the tag (1979- 1990; N= 10272) during the breeding season in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Another 455 pups were marked along the Nova Scotia eastern shore on Camp Island (White Islands), Bas
