Assessment of Competition between Fisheries and Steller Sea Lions in Alaska Based on Estimated Prey Biomass, Fisheries Removals and Predator Foraging Behaviour. [PDF]
A leading hypothesis to explain the dramatic decline of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in western Alaska during the latter part of the 20th century is a change in prey availability due to commercial fisheries.

Dermatophytosis in a Steller Sea Lion (Eumetopias jubatus).
Serious dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes was found in a Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) at Yomiuri Land Marine Aquarium in Tokyo. The external clinical signs were extensive depilation and hyperkeratosis, as well as redness and depigmentation of the skin.

Drag, but not buoyancy, affects swim speed in captive Steller sea lions
Swimming at an optimal speed is critical for breath-hold divers seeking to maximize the time they can spend foraging underwater. Theoretical studies have predicted that the optimal swim speed for an animal while transiting to and from depth is ...

Neonatal survival of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) [PDF]
AbstractNeonatal survival of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) are often considered inconsequential to their population dynamics. However, observations of dead animals on rookeries and in surrounding waters suggest that early mortality is not uncommon.
