Growth in Northwest Atlantic Harp seals Phoca groenlandica

Journal of Zoology, 1981
Morphometric data were collected from 204 Northwest Atlantic Harp seals aged one month and older sampled between 1976 and 1979. Length as a function of age gave the most precise measure of body size. Lean body (core) weight and total body weight were more variable measures of growth.

Freshness Quality of Harp Seal (Phoca groenlandica) Meat

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1994
Freshness quality of seal meat during the post-mortem storage period was determined by monitoring the profile of nucleotides and their breakdown products. Analytical conditions for quantitative determination of adenosine 5'-triphosphate, adenosine 5'-diphosphate, adenosine 5'-monophosphate, inosine 5'-monophosphate, hypoxanthine, xanthine, and inosine ...

Dental ontogeny of harp seals, Phoca groenlandica

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1987
Harp seal fetuses and neonates were examined to determine the development, resorption, and eruption characteristics of deciduous and permanent dentition. Early September fetuses had recently formed, deciduous teeth only. By early December the deciduous dentition was robust and enameled. Permanent teeth were also present.

Pollutants in harp seals (Phoca groenlandica). II. Heavy metals and selenium

Science of The Total Environment, 1984
Between 1976 and 1978, 249 harp seals were sampled from five locations in the Northwest Atlantic and Arctic for heavy metal and selenium residue analyses in tissue. Significant loading was apparent only in blood, brain, kidney, liver and muscle. Samples were analysed for mercury (Hg), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb).

Nonprotein nitrogen compounds in harp seal (Phoca groenlandica) meat

Food Chemistry, 1993
Abstract The composition of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) compounds in manually deboned or mechanically separated seal meat (MSSM) unwashed, or washed, was studied. The NPN contents in manually or mechanically separated meat were 172 and 342 mg %, respectively.

The Ice Lover: Biology of the Harp Seal ( Phoca groenlandica )

Science, 1982
The number of harp seals, Phoca groenlandica (Erxleben 1777) may now range from 2.25 million to 3 million. The total population is divided among three separate breeding stocks in the White Sea, the Greenland Sea, and the Northwest Atlantic.

Fatty acid composition of the harp seal, pagophilus groenlandicus (phoca groenlandica)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1974
Abstract 1. 1. Fatty acid composition of blubber, liver skeletal muscle, heart muscle, aorta, brain and testis has been detailed in harp seals. 2. 2. Each of the tissues examined shows a specific saturated, monoenoic, dienoic and polyenoic fatty acid composition, although differing in degree. 3. 3. The ratios of 16:0 16:1 , 20:5 (

Proteolytic hydrolysis of muscle proteins of harp seal (Phoca groenlandica)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1994
Protein hydrolysates were prepared from mechanically separated seal meat (MSSM) using commercially available microbial enzymes Alcalase and Neutrase. The enzyme in each case was inactivated by acidification with 4 N HCl to pH 4.0. Heme groups were removed, and the hydrolyzed proteins were bleached with charcoal, neutralized to pH 7.0, and dehydrated ...

Purification and characterization of myoglobin from harp seal (Phoca groenlandica)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1992
The purification and characterization of seal meat myoglobin after aqueous extraction of hemoproteins from muscle tissues was investigated. Of the 59 mg/g total hemoproteinsin seal meat, only 27% of its myoglobin content was recovered by the commonly used buffer precipitation method.
