L. canadensis or Canada lynxes are trapped in specific seasons in most of Alaska and Canada; hunting seasons and quotas are set based on population data.
Alberta typically leads in the production of pelts, accounting for nearly a third of Canada’s total. Following a cyclic fall in populations during the mid to late 1980s, there was a sharp decline in the prices and harvest of Canada lynx furs.
The average number of L. canadensis or Canada lynxes pelts exported from Canada and the United States fell from 35,669 in 1980–1984 to 7,360 between 1986 and 1989. Subsequently, the numbers have increased to 15,387 during 2000–2006.
Average illegal trade in fur and live animals appears to be negligible on the national scale. Even without regulation, the lynx-hare cycles and the distribution of the lynx have remained unaffected over the last century.
A survey of the international wildlife trade between 1980 and 2004 recorded that among all lynxes, the L. canadensis or Canada lynxes accounted for thirty percent of legal items and had little part in illegal trade.
While it was unclear which lynxes were preferred in North America, bobcat and L. canadensis or Canada lynxes furs appeared to be in greater demand than those of other lynxes in Asian and European markets.
