G’day MARMAM,

 

The attached photos show an emaciated and lethargic NZ fur seal (A. forsteri) that hauled out on the Tasmanian east coast on 14 Sep 2015, and unfortunately died a day later.  You’ll see it has a brown disk-shaped tag in the left flipper (number 148/13). 

 

Does anyone recognise this tag?  Any information regarding the origin and date/location of tagging would be really appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

 

Dr Kris Carlyon
