publication that you may want to add to your library:


<italic>Sea Lions of the World</italic>

http://seagrant.uaf.edu/bookstore/pubs/AK-SG-06-01.html


The September 2004 symposium, Sea Lions of the World, part of  Alaska
Sea Grant's Wakefield Symposia series, brought sea lion researchers
together in Anchorage, Alaska. This proceedings book contributes to
understanding why sea lion populations fluctuate, including Alaska's
Steller sea lions. Interspecies comparisons shed light on why some
populations decline while others increase, and insights are gained on
whether trends in the abundance of sea lions are related to fishing
activities through food dependencies or through conservation measures.
Authors also discuss parasites, contaminants, nutrition, pup survival,
foraging, wintering, historical fluctuations, and other topics.


Editors: A.W Trites, S.K. Atkinson, D.P. DeMaster, L.W. Fritz, T.S.
Gelatt, L.D. Rea, and K.M. Wynne

Price: $50.00
