For species represented by a preponderance of small individuals, each stranded animal was assigned a maturity state on the basis of length relative to published length estimates: humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) (Rice, 1963), common minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata; hereafter 'minke whales') (Boyd et al., 1999), harbor porpoises (Read and Gaskin, 1990; Lockyer, 1995), harbor seals (Boulva and McLaren, 1979), hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) (Reeves et al., 1992), gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) (Bonner, 1981), and harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus) (Reeves et al., 1992; Hammill et al., 1995).

We therefore conducted four feeding trials with a captive polar bear to investigate how 2 novel untested diets such as Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and harp seal meat/fat (Pagophilus groenlandicus) are digested and energetically utilized.

In vivo Digestibility Trials of a Captive Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) Feeding on Harp Seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) and Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus)

The main prey of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are ringed seals (Phoca hispida), bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus), and harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus) (Lono 1970; Smith 1980), and polar bears are thus the ultimate apex predator in the arctic marine ecosystems.
