| The Norwegian lynx Lynx lynx population in the 1970's | |
| 1980 Fauna norvegica (1): 29-33 | |
Information on Lynx distribution and population variation was gathered from municipal Game Boards throughout the country. Permanent populations occurred in all parts of Norway in the 1970s. Compared with the 1960s, the lynx had expanded southwards and westwards in southern Norway, while the distribution in northern Norway was little changed. An increase of the total Norwegian lynx population is indicated. Hunting statistics do not, however, reflect the assumed population increase. Only a small part of the annual mortality seems to be caused by hunting. The relationship between population status, and food availability is discussed. |
