dc.description.abstract | Sealing was the first exploitative industry in the Antarctic region. Throughout the 19th
century it was characterized by large fluctuations in harvests and shifts in hunting
grounds as seals were almost exterminated in some locations. The paper reviews the
historical literature on this industry. In particular it reviews sources and data that
relate the economic importance. So far, no one has succeeded in indicating the
aggregate economic value of the industry. The main aim, therefore, is to explore new
data, especially on market prices and catches that will enable us to assess more
accurately the significance of the industry. | en |
