Creator:: Katalinich, Jennifer D.
Abstract:: Behavioral studies of populations provide clues as to what influences their movements and life history strategies. This is an area of study that has been underutilized in research surrounding the declining western stock of Steller sea lions, Eumet opias jubatus, particularly with regards to haulout behaviors. During the time of...

Creator:: Merrick, Richard L.
Abstract:: Northern sea lions (Eumetopias lubatus) were studied at three sites (Rogue Reef, Oregon, Marmot Island, Alaska, and T.Ugamak Island, Alaska) during the 1982, 1983, 1985, and 1986 breeding seasons. Data were collected on female activity budgets, attendance patterns, births, copulations, population structure, and patterns of seasonal and daily abundance. Females...

Creator:: Malavear, Maria Yolanda Garcia
Abstract:: A dynamic bioenergetic model for Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) was built using the STELLA simulation modeling system. The model is intended as an aid for the exploration of ecological questions regarding growth and survival of immature Steller sea lions (ages 1-3) living along the Oregon coast under different nutritional...

Abstract:: Range, areas of concentrated activity, and dispersal characteristics for juvenile Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus in the endangered western population (west of 144° W in the Gulf of Alaska) are poorly understood. This study quantified space use by analyzing post-release telemetric tracking data from satellite transmitters externally attached to n...

Creator:: Vazquez, Norma A.
Abstract:: The first objective of this study was to quantify the intensity of space use of 70 juvenile (12-26 months old) Steller sea lions (SSLs) from the western Distinct Population Segment (DPS) in the Kenai Fjord(KF)/Prince William Sound (PWS) region of Alaska as derived from externally attached ARGOS satellite transmitter tags....

Creator:: Scordino, Jonathan
Abstract:: The Steller Sea Lion Research Initiative was passed in 2001 to provide funding to help scientists determine causes and solutions for the population crash of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus). In response to need to understand population dynamics of Steller sea lions, NOAA Fisheries has spearheaded a large-scale, range-wide research...

Abstract:: Education programs at zoos and aquariums provide opportunities for visitors to learn and garner information on animal natural history and, hopefully, conservation messaging. Fee-based programs (programs with an additional fee on top of admission prices), which are commonly employed by zoos and aquariums to foster learning opportunities for visitors, are...
