Owing to limited survey effort, walrus stocks are considered data poor with respect to the assessment of population status. [The department] has used the potential biological removal (PBR) method to develop advice about sustainable removals for marine mammals considered data poor. PBR refers to all human-caused mortality[,] so estimating a total allowable removal (TAR) provides the level of removals from all human-caused mortalities that should allow the population to maintain an optimal population size, or grow. 3, record 1, English, - potential%20biological%20removal

En raison des efforts limités en matière de relevés, les morses sont considérés comme une espèce peu documentée en ce qui a trait à l'évaluation de l'état des populations. Le [ministère] a eu recours à la méthode du prélèvement biologique potentiel (PBP) pour formuler des avis sur le prélèvement durable de mammifères marins jugés peu documentés. Le PBP correspond à la mortalité d'origine anthropique; ainsi, l'estimation du total autorisé de prélèvements (TAP) donne le niveau de prélèvement, englobant toutes les causes de mortalité d'origine anthropique, qui devrait permettre à la population de maintenir une taille optimale, ou de croître. 3, record 1, French, - retrait%20biologique%20potentiel

Les prises accidentelles de petits rorquals ont été rapportées principalement dans des casiers d'invertébrés et excèdent certaines années le prélèvement biologique potentiel (PBP) du «stock» de petits rorquals du golfe et de l'estuaire. 2, record 2, French, - pr%C3%A9l%C3%A8vement%20biologique%20potentiel
