Includes bibliographical references. "Two eider populations breed in the western Canadian Arctic and winter in the Bering Sea: the Pacific subspecies of the Common Eider Somateria mollissima v-nigra and the western Arctic population of the King Eider S. spectabilis. Both eiders are harvested primarily in the spring by the Aboriginal people of northern communities and to a small extent in faIl by sport hunters. Some eggs of the colonially nesting Common Eider are also taken. Compared with other harvested waterfowl, there are few available data on even the most basic aspects of the biology of these two eider populations, induding their status and nesting distribution"--Introd.
