From 2010 to 2015, satellite transmitters were deployed on 16 adult female Steller sea lions (AFSSLs; Eumetopias jubatus) in three regions of Alaska because there is limited information regarding the habitat use of this age class during winter and ...

Effects of commercial fishing on local abundance of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the Bering Sea [PDF]
Groundfish fisheries in the southeast Bering Sea in Alaska have been constrained in recent years by management measures to protect the endangered Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus).

ABSTRACT Quantifying broad‐scale population trends and distribution change is critical for effective management and conservation of marine species, particularly under climate change. However, fragmented regional survey data often hinder such efforts for transboundary populations. A prime example is Pacific Spiny Dogfish (Squalus suckleyi, Squalidae), a

Activity and diving metabolism correlate in Steller sea lion Eumetopias jubatus [PDF]
Three Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus were trained to participate in free-swim- ming, open-ocean experiments designed to determine if activity can be used to estimate the ener- getic cost of finding prey at depth. Sea lions were trained to dive to fixed depths of 10 to 50 m, and to re-surface inside a floating dome to measure energy expenditure ...

The Threatened Status of Steller Sea Lions, Eumetopias jubatus, under the Endangered Species Act: Effects on Alaska Groundfish Fisheries Management [PDF]
In April 1990, the Steller sea lion, Eumetopias jubatus, was listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act by emergency action. Competitive interactions with the billion-dollar Alaska commercial groundfish fisheries have been suggested as ...

Gray Whale Energy Requirements
ABSTRACT Eastern North Pacific gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) rely on energy obtained from Arctic feeding grounds to complete their 15,000–20,000 km annual round‐trip migration between feeding and breeding areas. However, quantitative estimates of their food requirements remain scarce. Using an age‐structured bioenergetics model incorporating life

Inter-population movements of steller sea lions in Alaska with implications for population separation. [PDF]
Genetic studies and differing population trends support the separation of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) into a western distinct population segment (WDPS) and an eastern DPS (EDPS) with the dividing line between populations at 144° W.

Sizes of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) consumed by the eastern stock of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in Southeast Alaska from 1994 to 1999 [PDF]
Lengths of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) consumed by Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) were estimated by using allometric regressions applied to seven diagnostic cranial structures recovered from 531 scats collected in Southeast Alaska ...
