The distribution, abundance and breeding season of grey seals in Finnmark, Norway are
reviewed. The seals are divided into eight hypothetical stocks: Sørøya, Magerøya, Laksfjord,
Tanafjord, Kongsfjord, Syltefjord, Vardø and Varangerfjord. Breeding has been verified for five
of these stocks. The total minimum observed stock size is 353 grey seals, but the real number is
probably much higher. The breeding season seems to be in October-November west of Nordkapp
and in December in the eastern part of the county.
