Steller Sea Lion Decline : Is It Food II

The most likely cause of the moderate decline of western Alaska Steller sea lions, in the 1990s, is poor recruitment (reproduction and survival of young). Also implicated are nutritional stress, predation, and disease. In contrast, nutritional stress alone was the leading hypothesis for a steep decline in sea lions the 1980s. This book has 13 extended abstracts presented at a May 2001 workshop. Attendees included the nation's leading authorities on Alaska's Steller sea lions.DeMaster, Douglas is the author of 'Steller Sea Lion Decline : Is It Food II', published 2002 under ISBN 9781566120722 and ISBN 1566120721.
