TABLE SUMMARIZING INTERACTIONS

Population sizes given are guessed wherever the estimate is followed by ‘?’.

Column 1 refers to the number of statistical areas in which operational interactions have been recorded.

Column 2 refers to those areas in which the interaction is regarded as being of particular significance to either a marine mammal population or a fishery

Column 3 indicates whether or not commercial species are regularly included in the diet. A ‘-’ indicates either that commercial species are not regularly included in the diet or that the regular composition of the diet is unknown.

Column 4 indicates the statistical area in which the consumption of commercial species may be regarded by fishermen as a threat to fish stocks, or the commercial catch may affect the marine mammal's population dynamics.
