Abstract
Number of pelts and cash value of pelts for fur-bearing mammals in Saskatchewan, including muskrat, beaver, mink, and marten. Numbers are recorded per fur management zone. Fur harvest is reported for 1996-2016. Data were collected from fur dealers, Ministry of Environment field offices, and North American Fur Auctions.
Purpose
Data are used for IMPC Theme B: Water Management Modelling, Coupling Human-driven and Natural Systems. The data contribute to IMPC subtheme B2: Developing a performance model for aquatic ecosystems based on hydro-ecologic metrics and environmental demands.
Plain Language Summary
Data are published in a report summarizing wild fur harvest and cash value of pelts in Saskatchewan from 2015 to 2016. While specific counts are given per for each species in each fur management zone in 2015 and 2016, summary numbers of total pelts, cash value, and the number of observations of each species are provided from as early as 1970.
