The analysis also showed that male seals stranded more frequently than females during the study period,

It's nature's way of weeding out excess males, without affecting overall reproductive capacity of the population; it also allows food (fish) stocks to recover from predation by an oversized herd.

(SARCASM ALERT!) HARP (Humans Against Rampant Protectionism) released the following explanation in response to this study:
All those dark, basking bodies of the increasing population of adult seals both radiate body heat, and absorb solar heat the ice would otherwise reflect, causing increased early ice melt....
