"During 1974-79, 231 polar bears were captured and tagged in the area of southeastern Baffin Island. Subsequently, 41 recaptures were made of 36 bears. An additional 13 tagged bears were reported killed by Inuk hunters. In general, densities of polar bears and their tracks sighted for each 100 km of sea ice habitat were higher than had been recorded in other areas of the Arctic. However, that appeared to reflect a lesser amount of preferred habitat rather than a greater number of bears"--Abstract.
