Eighteen years (1954-1972) of capture-mark-recapture data of 245 grey seal pups marked with identification tags in Wales. The data was obtained from paper files held by NRW and supplied originally West Wales Field Society and includes information on the location and number of animals marked in each year including sex and age estimations.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Eighteen years (1954-1972) of capture-mark-recapture data of 245 grey seal pups marked with identification tags in Wales. The data was obtained from paper files held by NRW and supplied originally West Wales Field Society and includes information on the location and number of animals marked in each year including sex and age estimations. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Seal pups were marked on beaches around the coast of Pembrokeshire covering over 100 km of National Park coastline. Seals were captured and marked with rings during the pupping season and were captured opportunistically. From detailed descriptive accounts for each individual, information of each seal’s natal colony, condition, and censorship, as well as an estimated of their date of birth and calculation of the duration of time between mark and recapture was derived. From original text descriptions of mark locations geolocated accurate positional information in a latitude-longitude format was also derived. Data collected in 1952 and 1953 were not documented in the paper files. However, a summary of records for 1952-1953 can be found in Hewer (1955). |
