Mr. Sopuck touched on it toward the end of his questioning with DFO around the influence of natural mortality, largely from the predator species, and they did touch on the seals a bit. Of course, you're farther north along this food chain, where I would imagine the influence of that seal growth and population is probably a little more than in the south. What impact is that having or what discussion level is going on, without being scientific about it? How are people responding to the boom in the seal population? What influence do they think it has on the shrimp and other fish stocks?
