From the submitted jaws a canine tooth was extracted, sectioned and examined to determine age (Mansfield 1991). In 1983, 36 fisheries officers in the Gulf complet- ed a questionnaire on the abundance and seasonal occurrence of Harbour Seals (Phoca vitulina) and Grey Seals in their patrolled area. They were asked during what months they saw seals and how many seals (0-50, 50-100, 100-500, etc.) were present in each of these areas. In 1989 and 1990, a question- naire dealing primarily with incidental catches of porpoise (Fontaine et al. in press) was sent directly to fixed gear fishermen in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence. Fishermen were also asked if they ever captured seals. Fishermen who responded positively, were contacted by telephone in 1991. They were asked for information on the number, the date and species of seal caught or seen in their fishing zone. Fishermen were also asked to describe the seals, which permitted us to evaluate their ability to identi- fy seals to 52 — 50 — 48 — 46 — Labrador Quebec Figure 2.
