Yes.

For the number of seals that are culled in any one year we have some fairly precise figures for Sweden, and I can't recall the figure specifically for the northern Scotland area. For the one in Sweden, I think it's around 100 seals. It's quite a small number. For Finland the number is about 600.

So in size, the seal cull in the EU is fairly limited.
