These results can help guide grey seal management and also clarify taxonomic relationships. Notably, we found the NW Atlantic to be more differentiated from the NE Atlantic and Baltic Sea, than the latter two are to each other, despite the NW Atlantic and NE Atlantic being considered one subspecies.

We showed marked differentiation between the NW Atlantic, NE Atlantic and Baltic Sea grey seals. These results also showed subpopulations within the NE Atlantic, including Froan and Kola, and Iceland standing out as differentiated.

Thank you!
