Summaries of literature (1960-present): Determinations of prey species (as well as some population and fisheries interaction data) for three pinnnipeds (Pacific Harbor seal, Phoca vitulina, Steller (or Northern) sea lion, Eumetopias jubatus, and California sealion, Zalophus californianus) on the west coast of North America

Abstract

This summary focuses on prey species, population and fishery information. General texts were not included. Population and fisheries interaction studies are not an exhaustive sampling but are only include as a supplement to prey species information. An attempt is made to put emphasis on more recent studies. This work was done while in residence as a student intern at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science in 1996-1997. This was completed in January 1997.
