Tiger population present state in Sikhote-Alin south-east
1993 (unknown): 45-53
In 1990-1992 in Lakovsky region and in nature reserve of the same name, based on more specific methods of identifying individuals by their tracks, tiger population state was described. The average for the region population density was in 1991 6.6 individuals per 1000 km2. In a reseve it can reach 8-10 for the same area. Sex correlation (1:1.2) is formed under the influence of illegal tiger shooting. Spacial population structure is characterized according to the data of winter tracking of three males and three females of different age. No home range overlapping of the same sex adult individuals was registered. Tiger preservation prospects are closely connected with spotted deer protection.
