Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Harbour Seal (Phoca vitulina) inhabits all three of Canada's coastlines, as well as a number of fresh-water systems.Three subspecies are recognized from Canadian waters, Phoca vitulina richardsi from the Pacific coast, Phoca vitulina concolor from the Atlantic and Arctic coasts, and Phoca vitulina mellonae from several freshwater lakes on the Ungava Peninsula, Quebec.This report reviews the status and management of Phoca vitulina richardsi and Phoca vitulina concolor in Canadian waters, discussing distribution, movements, population discrimination, population size and trends, and threats to this species in Canada.The Harbour Seal population in western Canada is large and has been increasing in size.While there are a number of actual or potential anthropogenic threats, including: overfishing, immunosuppresion due to accumulation of toxins, and illegal killing associated with aquaculture operations, the western Canadian population should probably be listed as not at risk.Little recent research has been undertaken on Harbour Seals in the Canadian Arctic or for most areas off eastern Canada, and insufficient information is available to assess the status of these populations.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
