In total, the hunter-guides in the sample combined during their years of sport hunt employment to capture an estimated 2196 ringed seals (with an additional 1464 taken and used for dog food), or 90 seals each annually. Similarly, the average annual harvest of caribou per individual was approximately seven animals and the take of narwhal two and one-half per year. Thus, the average annual harvest of the sample for the years in which they guided (41 total) was approximately 240 seals, 42 caribou and 13 narwhal. With respect to Clyde River's food economy, this annual harvest represents a contribution of 4800 kg of ringed seal, 1890 kg of caribou and 1300 kg of narwhal maktaaq into the food system in each year that a sample member was sport hunt employed. The magnitude of this harvest effort becomes evident when these data are compared to the mean annual harvest by all Clyde hunters of the same three species between 1996/1997 and 2000/2001.
