I'm unaware of the science supporting any sort of cull at this point, but I don't know what they're feeding on. Like François Caron said, first of all, these are predators. They're going to eat anything that comes near them that they can fit in their mouths. They don't care if it's salmon, striped bass, or capelin. They're going to eat what's there. When you have that large a number, obviously they're opportunistic and they'll feed on whatever they can.
As I think Dr. Hutchings mentioned in earlier testimony to you, the problem occurs, from the salmon's perspective, in that our numbers are so low now that even that relatively small number that may be taken by seals is contributing further to the decline, to the “death by a thousand cuts” reference that was made earlier today
