A Possible Management Plan to Prevent the Decline of Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in Alaskan Waters
The Steller sea lion [SSL] population has been declining for about the last 30 years due to many factors, such as competition with fisheries, the nutritional stress hypothesis, a climatic regime shift, subsistence hunting by the Inuit, contaminants, increased predation by the orca, and finally the f...
