Distribution: Based on the recapture or harvest of previously tagged animals
and studies of movement of adult female polar bears with satellite collars,
the Davis Strait (DS) subpopulation of polar bear occurs south of 66° N in
the Labrador Sea, eastern Hudson Strait and in the sea ice covered areas of
Davis Strait south of Cape Dyer on East Baffin Island and the entrance to
Kangerlussuaq/Søndre Strømfjord in West Greenland (Obbard et al. 2010
and references therein).
