Note: The number of catches of species which are reported via a special form is final, i.e. the numbers of polar bears, walruses, belugas, narwhals, minke whales, fin whales, and bowhead whales, also for 2009. The figures for 2007 are final for all species. The figures for 2008, however, are not final as all forms have not been processed. The figures for 2009 are based on a very limited number of forms and should not be used as they do not give a correct picture.
