Abstract

Information on fertility of moose (Alces alces) and survival rate of calves in Russia is reviewed. The potential fertility of moose averages 1.3 (1.1-1.6) embryos per pregnant female. The percent of dry cows is variable, but usually does not exceed 35%. Annual calf mortality reaches 60-80%. Potential recruitment rate is near 40%, but is generally close to 30% by autumn, and drops by 10-15% in spring.
