Although harp seals are the focus of the commercial hunt, a smaller number of hooded seals are also commercially hunted each year. Other species of seals, including ringed (Pusa hispida), harbour (Phoca vitulina), grey (Halichoerus grypus), and bearded (Erignathus barbatus) are killed in non-commercial hunts.
