This Northern Suppliment is required for a study of ageing in Canadian polar bears. Knowledge of the age structure is required to determine whether a population is reproductively healthy or not. Currently, ageing uses expensive mark-recapture techniques that necessarily involve anaesthesia and physical handling. I will investigate an alternative method of ageing polar bears, one that does not require handling.

这种北方补充品是加拿大北极熊老化研究所必需的。要确定人口的生殖健康状况，就必须了解年龄结构。目前，老化使用昂贵的标记重夺技术，这必然涉及麻醉和物理处理。我将研究另一种不需要处理的方法来老化北极熊。
