▼ The demand by ecotourism for easily accessible wildlife encounters has increased the need for regulations to minimise negative effects of tourism on towards marine mammals. High levels of human interaction could have serious consequences for recovering populations of New Zealand fur seals (Arctocephalus forsteri). By monitoring behavioural shifts in reactions to human disturbance, the aim of this study was to determine how disturbance by tourism is affecting the behaviour of the New Zealand fur seals. Fur seal breeding colonies, haul-outs, and a pup nursery were studied on the South Island to determine the level of disturbance. Data collected in this study can be used towards improving monitoring regimes to mitigate negative effects of anthropogenic disturbance. I first used behavioural observations to assess a seal’s behaviour in response to different types of tourist activities. Next, I examined changes in New Zealand fur seal behaviour as a result of visits to colonies by tourist boats. To quantify the response of fur seals to tourist boats, experimental boat approaches were conducted using a before, during, and after instantaneous scan sampling method at two breeding colonies (one with high vessel traffic and one with none). Impact of noise was also investigated using a loud speaker to mimic local harbour tours. Lastly, behavioural observations on seal pups at a nursery were conducted comparing pup behaviour in the presence and absence of tourism along with variable intensities of tourist behaviour. My observations suggest that seal behaviour was significantly different between sites with and without tourist visits. The type of tourism had a significant effect on the behavioural state of seals, with animals more active when there were people walking in the colonies. There were also signs of habituation in some of the study colonies. Since each colony varied in the type of tourism it experienced, it is possible that it is not only the level of tourism that is important but also the type of tourism that has a significant role in eliciting short-term behavioural shifts. Observations from a tour boat revealed an increase in the percentage of seals reacting when vessels were close to the shore. This distance effect was overridden and reactions were greater, however, when tours included commentary via an external speaker. The effects of both distance and noises were significantly different between colonies with high and low levels of tourist visits. Due to the overlap of peak tourist visits with fur seal breeding season, these animals are at their most vulnerable when companies are in peak operation. Finally, as with adults, pup behaviour was also significantly affected by tourism presence. Periods of inactivity and awareness increased in the presence of tourists, which is indicative of disruption of “play” and movement towards more vigilant behaviour. Despite the significant effects of tourist visits I found in this study, there was large variation in the degree of responses in different populations of the fur seal.…

▼ The recent increase in the New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) population has given rise to socio-economic concerns regarding the potential conflicts with human interests. Elaboration of a comprehensive management strategy has been hindered by the paucity of solid information concerning New Zealand fur seal ecology.
Recent developments in massive parallel DNA sequencing and computational infrastructures were used to address some of the major areas of conflict with human commercial interests. The first focus of the current study was to test a series of non-destructive methods for collecting biological samples for high- throughput DNA analysis.
A second focus of the study was application of whole mitochondrial genomes in conjunction with Y chromosome Zinc fingers (ZFY) from New Zealand fur seals throughout the whole range of the species distribution in an Approximate Bayesian Computation framework to reconstruct the recent demographic history of the species. The pristine population size (pre-human colonisation), historical population size after human first arrival and the bottleneck population size were estimated.
There was enough variability left in the mitochondrial genomes to detect the 18th -19th- century’s population bottleneck in the species. The pattern observed in ZFY data set was more complicated indicating more subtle population genetics dynamics. Mitochondrial DNA were uniform in its distribution with few distant haplotypes that could represents the presence of old lineages or potential introgression from other sympatric species.
The intriguing pattern observed in ZFY data also resulted in the discovery of a rare genomic event called ‘’ectopic gene conversion” between non- recombining parts of Y and X chromosomes in the New Zealand fur seal genome
The third focus of the study is on the fine scale population structure of NZ fur seals at a local scale around Banks Peninsula, -South Island, and New Zealand. No evidence of local population structure was found in the area suggesting the presence of substantial gene flow among colonies at a local scale. Moreover, the “spill over“ colony expansion dynamics, suggested previously as a pattern for recolonizing new habitat, was supported at the local scale using genetic data. Most of the newly-established colonies in the area showed the highest degree of genetic structure similarities with older colonies in their vicinity emphasizing the important role of “spill over” dynamics of older colonies in formation of new colonies. The data significantly support multi recolonization events with occasional local recruitment of immigrating individuals.
There is a short mitogenomic announcement in chapter five where I used the complete mitogenomes of New Zealand fur seals in addition to three mustelid species (all de novo sequenced in the current research) to re-examine the origin of pinnipeds in the light of new available mitogenomes.
The final focus of the study used molecular-based methods to identify the prey and parasite items of the New Zealand fur seal…

▼ The
New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) is the most abundant
fur seal species in the Australian-
New Zealand region. Approximately 85 % of Australia’s population of
New Zealand fur seals reside in the state of South Australia. As a result of their abundance and size, it has been estimated that the
New Zealand fur seal population in South Australia consumes the greatest biomass of resources of all marine mammal and seabird species. However, despite the importance of
New Zealand fur seals as top predators, our understanding of their foraging ecology in South Australia is limited. In order to better understand the habitat utilized and the diet of
New Zealand fur seals, this study explores the foraging ecology of lactating seals from four primary colonies in South Australia, which account for ~ 78 % of the Australian population. These colonies are Cape Gantheaume (36о04’S, 137о27’E) and Cape du Couedic (36о03’S, 136о42’E) on Kangaroo Island; North Neptune Island (35о13’S, 136о03’E) and Liguanea Island (34о59’S, 135о37’E).
I start this study by assessing the seasonal variation in foraging location and dive behaviour of lactating
New Zealand fur seals from Cape Gantheaume. 18 seals were fitted with satellite transmitters and time depth recorders (TDRs). The presence of thermoclines (derived from TDRs), were used as a surrogate measure of upwelling activity in continental shelf habitats. During the austral autumn 80 % of lactating
fur seals foraged on the continental shelf (114 ± 44 km from the colony), in a region associated with a seasonal coastal upwelling system, the Bonney upwelling. In contrast, during winter months seals predominantly foraged in oceanic waters (62 %), in a region associated with the Subtropical Front (460 ± 138 km from the colony). Results suggested that lactating
New Zealand fur seals shift their foraging location from continental shelf to oceanic habitats, in response to a seasonal decline in continental shelf productivity, attributed to the cessation of the Bonney upwelling in autumn.
To study inter-colony differences in foraging locations, 21
New Zealand fur seals were satellite tracked from four colonies within close proximity (46 km – 200km apart). Seals initiated foraging trips on a colony-specific bearing (Cape Gantheaume 141 ± 33º, Cape du Couedic 186 ± 12º, North Neptune Island 200 ± 23º and Liguanea Island 234 ± 69º), and recorded little overlap between colony-specific foraging areas. The distribution of colony-specific foraging grounds appeared to be influenced by the proximity of colonies to predictable local upwelling features, as well as a distant oceanic frontal zone, the Subtropical Front.
Foraging site fidelity and route-choice was further assessed by comparing site fidelity between continental shelf and oceanic habitats. Data from 31 lactating females, satellite tracked over 107 consecutive foraging trips indicated that females foraging on the continental shelf recorded a significantly greater overlap in foraging area between consecutive foraging routes, when compared…

▼ A recognition system is required between pinniped mothers and pups. For otariids this is especially important since females frequently leave their pups for foraging and must reunite on return. Pups must deal with these fasting periods during maternal absence and consequently may attempt to obtain allomaternal care from unrelated females. This research on the New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) at Ohau Point, Kaikoura, New Zealand, quantified mother-pup recognition behaviour during reunions, individuality of pup calls used by mothers to recognise their pup, and the occurrence of allosuckling as a possible recognition error by females and as a strategy employed by pups to gain allomaternal care during their mothers' absence. A combination of behavioural observations, morphometry, VHF radio telemetry, acoustics and DNA genotyping were employed to study these topics. Postpartum interaction behaviours between mothers and pups appeared to facilitate development of an efficient mother-pup recognition system, involving mainly vocal and olfactory cues that were utilised during reunions. Greater selective pressure on pups to reunite resulted in an asymmetry of searching behaviour between females and pups during reunions. The vocalisations of pups were stereotypic, especially those features of the fundamental frequency and frequency of the lowest harmonic, which are likely to facilitate recognition of a pup by their mother. Pups attempted to steal milk from unrelated females more often during maternal absence and appeared to modify the intra-individual variation pattern of a feature of their vocal signatures over this period, which may assist attempts at allosuckling under nutritional stress. Fostering was demonstrated to occur despite costs to filial pups and possible costs to female reproductive success and may be attributed to development of erroneous recognition between females and non filial pups, or kin selection. This study provides a valuable contribution to the knowledge of recognition systems between pinniped mothers and pups, of alternative pup strategies under nutritional stress and of the rare occurrence of fostering in otariid pinnipeds.

▼ The New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) and the long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) represent two phylogenetically unrelated species that inhabit the same environment and utilise similar prey. The stomach anatomy of the New Zealand fur seal and the long-finned pilot whale has not been well studied. Because of the scarcity of published information on these two species, this study was undertaken to identify differences and similarities between the two species. A literature review considers work on the stomach anatomy of other marine mammal species to allow for comparisons and parallels to be made. The stomachs of 10 New Zealand fur seal and 7 long-finned pilot whale cadavers were examined macroscopically and microscopically. The single chambered stomach of the New Zealand fur seal was similar to that of other pinnipeds. The stomach was J-shaped: with an elongate proper-gastric region, a sharply bent incisura angularis and narrow pyloric portion that extended cranially to a well-developed pyloric sphincter. The lining of the empty stomach was arranged into well-defined rugae that were sparser and less tortuous beyond the pyloric antrum. The microscopic anatomy of the stomach wall was similar to the typical mammalian carnivore plan. However, some differences were evident, including a narrower cardiac zone, and longer proper-gastric glands because of the numerous mucous neck and parietal cells. The multi-chambered stomach of the long-finned pilot whale was similar to that of other cetaceans. The stomach consisted of three chambers: a muscular, pear-shaped forechamber followed by a bulbous proper-gastric chamber and a thin walled pyloric chamber divided into a channel-like cranial portion that was further subdivided by a transverse septum and a tubular caudal portion. The orifices between chambers and the chambers themselves progressively decreased in size. The proper-gastric and pyloric chambers are comparable to those zones of the typical mammalian stomach. However some differences were evident, including the abrupt changes in mucosa between chambers, lack of a cardiac zone, a forechamber lined by non-glandular epithelium and a thicker stomach wall. It is concluded that the stomachs of the New Zealand fur seal and the long-finned pilot whale are macroscopically different but microscopically similar. The stomachs are similar to those of other pinnipeds and cetaceans, respectively. Therefore, anatomical variations are likely to be phylogenetic in origin as otariids are believed to be derived from bear-like carnivorous ancestors whereas cetaceans are from the ancestors of ruminants.

▼ Colony dynamics, maternal investment, and indicators of health were investigated for the New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) over four austral summers, 2001- 2005. Effort was focused at the Ohau Point seal colony, north of Kaikoura. Two colonies at Banks Peninsula were included for comparisons of colony growth and pup condition. A range of other colonies were also included for making comparisons about colony dynamics and health indices. Colony dynamics were investigated through mark-recapture estimates of pup production and daily census of all individuals at the Ohau Point colony. Maternal attendance patterns were observed through behavioural observations of known females (n = 120), the use of VHF radio transmitters (n = 33), and female mass and body condition estimates (n = 51). Maternal investment was also investigated through longitudinal sampling of pup mass and growth rates. Parameters used to indicate colony health were: body condition, growth, presence of parasites, and the levels and common causes of mortality. The influence of parasites on pup growth was tested using treatment of selected pups with Ivermectin anti-helmentic medication, and mortality in the region was investigated through reports of dead individuals, and post mortems of those found fresh. The Ohau Point colony is in an exponential state of growth, and pup mass and condition was higher and responded to changes in environmental variables differently than at the Banks Peninsula colonies. Lactation lengths were consistently longer at Ohau Point than is typically reported for the species (323-355 days vs. 285 days). Maternal investment strategies were indicative of a close, reliable food source, and showed flexibility between years through extension of foraging trip durations and the increased use of overnight foraging trips. Individual strategies did not significantly influence pup growth. However, increased maternal condition and the ability to respond to inter-annual changes in resource availability resulted in accelerated pup growth even during an El Niño event. The incidence of pups with intestinal parasites was low at Ohau Point, and the average mass of treated and non-treated pups did not differ. Pup mortality in the region was low (3% to 50 days old), however, mortality of older pups was greatly influenced by the proximity of humans, with 2/3 of pup mortality observed between the age of 50 days and weaning being caused by car collisions. The results suggest that population dynamics and maternal investment in the region are greatly influenced by local variables, notably the presence of an accessible food source within close proximity to the colony. Various indicators of health reflect a growing colony in good condition, and the presence of a reliable food source may influence the maximum density and carrying capacity the colony is able to sustain. However, some concerns are raised about the influence of human interactions in the region, and how this may affect mortality and colony dynamics in…

Re-conceptualizing the traditional economy: indigenous

▼ Contemporary resource use on Indigenous lands is not
often well understood by the general public. In particular, there
is a perception that “traditional” and commercial resource use are
mutually exclusive, and therefore there is often an assumption that
Indigenous communities are abandoning their traditional economy
when they participate in the commercial sector of the larger
regional economy. This perceived tension between traditional and
commercial resource use is caused in part by a limited
understanding of the participation of Indigenous peoples in
commercial industries historically and the subsequent process of
the commercialization of some aspects of Indigenous peoples’
pre-contact economies. This dissertation examines the seasonal
cycle of activities and the patterns of consumption and production
of the Indigenous peoples who participated in the fur trade at Ile
a la Crosse in northwestern Saskatchewan and the whaling industry
at the Otakou shore station in southern New Zealand. A systematic
analysis of the daily journals and accounting records kept by
company employees in these two regions demonstrate that
participation in these industries allowed the Indigenous economies
to be transformed from pre-contact times. While this participation
did not completely subsume the Indigenous economies, the changes
that were made created a need for the Indigenous people to continue
accessing the European-style goods that had been incorporated into
their livelihoods, a need that was exacerbated as local resources
declined as a result of over-use. Thus, there is a need to
re-conceptualize what is generally thought of as the “traditional
economy.” The traditional economy in contemporary Indigenous
communities is often perceived as an Indigenous approach to
resource use that has changed little, except perhaps in the
technology used, from pre-contact times. This dissertation,
however, clearly demonstrates that participation in commercial
industries historically encouraged the adaptation of Indigenous
economies in response to changing opportunities and circumstances.
It becomes clear then that the so-called “traditional economy” of
today, is an Indigenous economy that has already been shaped and
influenced by participation in historical commercial economies.
Understanding the adaptability of Indigenous economies has
important implications for economic development initiatives in
Indigenous communities today.

▼ This study was conducted to determine the composition and size of prey consumed by northern
fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) in the eastern Bering Sea. Eighty three northern
fur seals were collected in the summer and fall of 1981, 1982, and 1985 for examination of gastrointestinal contents. A total of 139 midwater and bottom trawls were collected to determine the availability of potential prey. Analysis of trawls confirmed that seals are size-selective midwater feeders during their breeding and haul-out season in the eastern Bering Sea. Juvenile walleye pollock and gonatid squid, 5-20cm in body length, were the primary prey, but
seal prey varied among years and between nearshore and pelagic sample locations. Interannual variation in body sizes of walleye pollock consumed by seals was related to pollock year class strength. The identification of pollock and gonatid squid as primary
fur seal prey in the eastern Bering Sea was consistent with previous reports. However, Pacific herring and capelin, previously considered important
fur seal prey werE absent in this study.

▼ New Zealand fur seals (NZFS, Arctocephalus forsteri) are a relatively common feature on the rocky coasts of Southern Australia and
New Zealand’s North, South, and subantarctic Islands. Several previous studies (e.g. Lento et al. 1997, Wynen 2001, Robertson and Gemmell 2005) have endeavoured to describe the population structure of NZFS, and have been unable to resolve distinct genetic differentiation among breeding colonies. However, it was unclear whether this could be attributed to an absence of structure in the species, or simply to a lack of discriminatory power provided by the molecular markers available at the time. In this study, we utilised a large and highly variable dataset of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to thoroughly investigate population genetic trends, and to identify and describe
new sources of genetic variation.
We incorporated a total of 253 NZFS samples (167 from eight breeding colonies, 86 from fisheries bycatch) into our analyses. Adhering to the sequencing preparation protocol Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS, Elshire et al. 2011), we digested DNA samples with the restriction enzyme Pst1. This effectively resulted in a reduction of genomic complexity, allowing for efficient identification of sites of variation at cut site loci. Post-sequencing bioinformatics processing (Stacks, Catchen et al. 2011) was implemented to produce a catalogue of 473,338 monomorphic and polymorphic loci for further analyses.
We present a novel approach for the discovery and statistical validation of male-specific (Y-chromosome) loci in GBS datasets. Using a sex-specific locus threshold (SSLT) and a significant sex-assignment threshold (SSAT), we identified male-specific loci (monomorphic and polymorphic) within our dataset. We then screened for those loci within individuals of unknown sex in our bycatch sample group, and assigned sex to those individuals in silico. A significant bias toward males with the bycatch sample group was identified across all regions (68.6% – 80.2%, p < 0.001), which is consistent with previous observations on the species’ foraging behaviour. In addition, we developed a small panel of sex-specific PCR primers that can be used to ascertain the sex of unknown individuals in future studies.
We employed a robust dataset of 22,192 neutral SNPs to investigate variation within and between NZFS subpopulations. While our conclusions were consistent with previous observations of relatively low population differentiation (0.65% – 0.85% variation explained by regional differences), we identified distinct similarities among West Coast colonies and Southern East Coast colonies. Northern East Coast colonies appear to be sites of genetic confluence, though further research will be required to verify these signatures. A weak, but significant (p = 0.01) isolation-by-distance pattern was identified among the eight breeding colonies studied, indicating a degree of previously overlooked, fine-scale population structure in this species.

▼ Assessment of trophic interactions between increasing populations of New Zealand fur seals (Arctocephalus forsteri) and fisheries in southern Australia is limited due to a lack of species specific demographic data and an understanding of the factors influencing population growth. To establish species specific demographic parameters a cross-sectional sample of New Zealand fur seal females (330) and males (100) were caught and individually-marked on Kangaroo Island, South Australia between 2000 and 2003. The seals were aged through examination of a postcanine tooth, which was removed from each animal to investigate age-specific life-history parameters. Annual formation of cementum layers was confirmed and accuracy in age estimation was determined by examination of teeth removed from individuals of known-age. Indirect methods of assessing reproductive maturity based on mammary teat characteristics indicated that females first gave birth between 4-8 years of age, with an average age at reproductive maturity of 5 years. Among reproductively mature females, age-specific reproductive rates increased rapidly between 4-7 years of age, reaching maximum rates of 70-81% between 8-13 years, and gradually decreased in older females. No females older than 22 years were recorded to pup. Age of first territory tenure in males ranged from 8-10 years. The oldest female and male were 25 and 19 years old, respectively. Post-weaning growth in females was monophasic, characterised by high growth rates in length and mass during the juvenile growth stage, followed by a gradual decline in growth rates after reproductive maturity. In contrast, growth in males was biphasic and displayed a secondary growth spurt in both length and mass, which coincided with sexual and social maturation, followed by a rapid decline in growth rates. Age-specific survival rates were high (0.823-0.953) among prime-age females (8-13 yrs of age) and declined in older females. Relative change in annual pup production was strongly correlated with reproductive rates of prime-age females and adult female survival between breeding seasons.

▼ Worldwide expansion of marine mammal tourism over recent decades has raised international concerns in terms of the effects of these tourism practices on the species they target. Moreover, the growth and success of the industry have often outpaced conservation planning, including in New Zealand. To illustrate, tour vessels have been operating for ca. 25 years in the Bay of Plenty (BOP), situated on the east coast of North Island, New Zealand. By 2010, a total of eight permits had been granted across the region. However, development of this local industry occurred without any baseline data on species occurrence, distribution, habitat use or behaviour.
This study sought to assess the historical occurrence of the marine mammal species off the BOP and determine their spatial and temporal distribution. Current distribution, density and group dynamics were examined for common dolphins (Delphinus sp.) and New Zealand fur seals (Arctocephalus forsteri), the two most frequently encountered species in the BOP and therefore, the primarily targeted species by tour operators. The extent of anthropogenic interactions with common dolphins was investigated and their effects on dolphin behaviour examined. The number of common dolphin individuals closely interacting with tour vessels was estimated and dolphin-vessel interactions were quantified to assess repetitive encounters.
In the absence of previously undertaken systematic dedicated surveys, the present study investigated the historical spatial and temporal occurrence of dolphins, whales and pinnipeds in the BOP region. The examination of opportunistic data, collected between December 2000 and November 2010 via various platforms of opportunity including but not limited to tour vessels, identified fourteen species of dolphins, whales and pinnipeds occurring in the region. Confidence criteria in successful species identification were assigned based on observer expertise, diagnostic features of reported species and percentage of records reported by observer type. Common dolphins were the most frequently encountered species, followed by killer whales (Orcinus orca), bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and New Zealand fur seals, other species being infrequently encountered. A detailed examination of common dolphin habitat use
revealed discrepancies with previous findings (e.g. higher use of shallower waters), possibly explained by inherent biases to the opportunistic dataset.
Dedicated surveys, conducted between November 2010 and May 2013, investigated the current distribution, density and habitat use of common dolphins and New Zealand fur seals. Both species exhibited a strong seasonality with contrasting occurrence in summer and autumn for common dolphins and in winter and spring for fur seals. Dolphin seasonality is suggested to be linked to movements into deeper offshore waters and/or potentially to neighbouring regions (i.e. the Hauraki Gulf) and most likely related to foraging opportunities. Fur seal seasonality suggests that the western BOP supports a non-breeding colony…

(more)
▼ The Cape fur seal Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus colony at the Robberg Peninsula, Plettenberg Bay, on the south-east coast of South Africa, was driven to extirpation by indiscriminate harvesting by the late 1800s and seals only began to recolonise this site in the 1990s. This study describes the recolonisation process from 2000 to 2009, exploring within- and between-year variation in the number of seals using the site. Numbers increased over the study period from less than 300 animals to over 3 100. Year and month were important in explaining variability in seal counts, whereas sea condition, time of day and lunar phase had minimal explanatory power. Within-year variation in seal counts decreased during the study period, which may indicate an increasing proportion of resident (as opposed to transient) seals in the colony. However, the colony is currently still in a transition phase with a low ratio of breeding to non-breeding animals and low numbers of pups born on the colony (currently still < 100 per year). The influx of seals to the Robberg area may be associated with an increase in prey availability in the area. The relative protection afforded by the Nature Reserve status of the Robberg Peninsula and the existence of a Marine Protected Area adjacent to it are likely to contribute to the growth of this colony. However, human interference associated with fishing and/or ecotourism on the Peninsula may prevent the colony from developing into a breeding colony. Faecal (scat) sampling was employed to study the diet of this increasing seal population at Robberg. Species composition and size of prey were determined, temporal variation in the diet was explored, and the potential for competition between seals and the fisheries around Plettenberg Bay was investigated. Of the 445 scats collected, 90 % contained hard prey remains. These comprised of 3 127 identified otoliths representing 15 teleost prey species, 25 cephalopod beaks representing three 6 species and three feathers representing two bird species. The seals' most important prey species in terms of numerical abundance and frequency of occurrence in the diet were anchovy, sardine, horse mackerel, sand tongue-fish and shallow-water hake (in decreasing order of importance). The proportion of anchovy in the diet increased during the study period, while sardine decreased. Sardine was the only species that increased significantly in the diet during the upwelling season. Little evidence was found of direct competition between seals and linefisheries in Plettenberg Bay, both in terms of prey species composition and quantities consumed. Scat sampling in seals holds promise as a method to track long-term changes in prey species availability. The conservation and management of this colony are discussed in light of the research findings.

▼ Knowledge of the habitat use and foraging ecology of animals in space and time is fundamental to understanding the structure and function of their ecosystems, inter-relationships with earth and climate systems, and to inform management and conservation. The examination of relationships across ecological levels (individuals, populations, species) can reveal the effects of the intrinsic characteristics of individuals and extrinsic environmental factors, and contributes to a broader understanding of an animal’s biology.
This thesis examines the foraging behaviours, habitat use and drivers of these for female Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) from three Southern Ocean colonies during the poorly studied austral winter, from the individual to the species level. The at-sea winter distribution of Antarctic fur seals from Marion Island, Bird Island and Cape Shirreff was quantified over six years (2008-13) using archival global location sensing (GLS) loggers, while time-depth recorders were used to record diving behaviour at Marion Island (2012 and 2013). Specifically, this thesis aims to (1) ascertain the degree of foraging site fidelity of seals, (2) use diving behaviour to identify foraging strategies and associated costs and benefits, (3) identify important winter foraging habitats of populations and their associated environmental characteristics and (4) quantify recent decadal changes to winter habitat and temporal variability in habitat use to facilitate assessment of the degree of overlap with Southern Ocean management areas and fisheries.
(1) Data from Marion and Bird Island animals was used to assess individual fidelity to oceanic foraging sites. Site fidelity was examined at two scales: within and between years. Within-year site fidelity was typically weak, indicating that successive foraging trips over the winter target different regions in response to seasonal environmental changes. Conversely, between-year fidelity to foraging regions was strong for the majority of animals (>50% of the annual home range re-used), who returned to individually unique foraging grounds over multiple years. The major oceanographic parameter typifying areas of re-use was a high long-term (multi-decadal) variance in sea surface temperature, which is likely associated with elevated productivity and increased energy intake over the individual’s lifetime. These findings show that foraging strategies not only vary between individuals, but also can persist over the long-term.
(2) Diving behaviour and fine-scale habitat use were examined during the post-breeding migrations of Antarctic fur seals by combining vertical and horizontal movement data. The relationship between movement responses across horizontal and vertical dimensions was assessed. A broken-stick approach, novel for otariid seals, quantified within-dive foraging effort and identified two distinct foraging strategies that presently co-exist in the Marion Island population: (i) remain north of the Polar Front close to the colony, or (ii) transit south of the Polar…

▼ This thesis builds a demographic profile of the Northern
Fur Seal (NFS) population being consumed at DfSi-4 and DfSj-23 to determine if a NFS rookery existed within close proximity to both sites. A demographic profile of the death assemblages found at each site was built using visual identification, a non-linear growth curve algorithm developed by Michael Etnier (2002) and ancient DNA analysis. This study uses the demographic profile to evaluate the existence of a NFS rookery within the Barkley Sound area. Ultimately the existence of a rookery depends on demonstrating the existence of four age categories: fetal/newborn, juvenile, adult and adult male. Results indicate that a rookery likely existed near DfSj-24A, but there is much less certainty for DfSi-4. Further inquiry is now possible into the economic and ecological relationships that existed between the Toquaht and the NFS within the Barkley Sound area.

▼ The term "nature" can be defined in a variety of ways supporting very different views on how humans should interact with the natural world. The "ambiguity" inherent in the definition of nature promotes a variety of different applications for the concept of nature, particularly in relation to natural history films. Many natural history films aim to promote awareness and respect for the natural world. The majority of current nature documentaries, however, seem to define nature as an object and employ techniques that actually perpetuate a harmful dichotomy between nature and human culture. The intent of my thesis film, Henry Wood Elliott: Defender of the
Fur Seal, is to break down this dichotomy and promote an alternative definition of nature. The definition that I attempt to portray encompasses both nature and human culture in a partnership, a definition of "nature as everything." Through
subject matter and specific methods of filmmaking, Henry Wood Elliott: Defender of the
Fur Seal attempts to increase the connections between wildlife and humans, and natural resources and human use of those resources, to promote sustainability for both nature and human culture. Past films about the northern
fur seal are discussed in terms of the methods and tools employed that encourage and demonstrate the division between nature and culture. A subsequent analysis of Henry Wood Elliott: Defender of the
Fur Seal highlights its attempts to build the partnership between the natural world and human context.

▼ Several neuronal systems contribute to the generation and maintenance of sleep and waking. Knowledge pertaining to the neurotransmitters involved in sleep-wake regulation has been derived primarily from species that display bilaterally symmetric EEG states (e.g. cats, dogs, rats, and mice). However, these studies do not indicate which aspects of sleep these neurotransmitters are specifically linked to.
Fur seals display both bilateral (BSWS) and asymmetrical sleep slow-wave sleep (ASWS); this unusual sleeping pattern provides a unique opportunity to determine which of the many physiological and neurochemical changes seen bilaterally in terrestrial mammals are linked to the cortical EEG changes and which may be linked to the motor and/or autonomic aspects of sleep. In studying this remarkable feature of the
fur seal, we can dissociate the thalamocortical EEG activity in each hemisphere from aspects of behavioural state and study each independently as they relate to neurotransmitter release. The overall aim of my thesis was to examine, simultaneously in both hemispheres, the release of key neurotransmitters in the cortex across the sleep-wake cycle in the northern
fur seal, and to specifically compare levels during BSWS and ASWS. In vivo microdialysis and high-performance liquid chromatography were used to monitor the release of neurotransmitters during polygraphically defined states. Neurotransmitters previously thought to contribute equally to the waking state, actually behave quite differently in a brain that is half awake and half asleep. Cortical acetylcholine (ACh) release was highly lateralized during ASWS, with greater release in the activated hemisphere, whereas cortical serotonin (5-HT), noradrenaline (NA), and histamine (HA) were symmetrically released during ASWS. Of the arousal systems studied so far, only ACh is involved in the lateralized cortical EEG activation manifested in asymmetric sleep. Bilaterally symmetric levels of the monoaminergic transmitters studied to date are compatible with interhemispheric EEG asymmetry. Findings suggest distinct functional roles for ACh, 5-HT, NA, and HA in the regulation of wakefulness, with respect to cortical activation and behavioural arousal.

▼ This study investigated the presence, prevalence, intensity and duration of infection of Uncinaria sp. within populations of the Australian fur seal Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus (Schreber) located in Victorian waters off of southeastern Australia. All of the four seal colonies involved in this study, representing 77% of the population of A. p. doriferus, demonstrated low (2-18) intensity of hookworm infections in 58-96% of pups 4-8 weeks old, with prevalence of infection decreasing to 0% by 15-20 weeks of age. Higher (87-96%) prevalences were found in three of the four colonies, with the fourth colony having a lower (58%) prevalence as well as a mainly rocky rather than sandy substrate. The pathological impact could not be conclusively determined due to small sample sizes, but hookworm infection was not considered to play a significant role in pup morbidity and mortality. Hookworm infection did not have a statistically significant impact on haematological parameters (packed cell volume and total plasma protein) and no sex predilections with infection were found.
Additionally, this study presents morphological and molecular data on hookworms from A. p. doriferus currently identified in Australian waters as Uncinaria hamiltoni Baylis, 1933. Additional specimens from the Australian sea lion Neophoca cinerea (Péron) and the New Zealand fur seal Arctocephalus forsteri (Lesson) from Australia, and the southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina (Linnaeus) from Antarctica, were included. Using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), hookworms from A. p. doriferus, N. cinerea and A. forsteri were genetically similar to one another but were distinct from Uncinaria spp. found in M. leonina from Antarctica as well as from Zalophus californianus (Lesson) and Callorhinus ursinus (Linnaeus) from California. Few morphological differences were detected between these taxa.

▼ A conceptual model is proposed that describes the dynamics of the Pribilof Islands North Pacific fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus). It is suggested that fur seals are regulated most strongly at population levels close to the limits set by the availabilities of food and breeding space. Population growth appears to be primarily regulated by changes in the rates of survival, reproduction, and dispersal of young animals. The proposed conceptual model is used to shape a mathematical formulation that incorporates basic fur seal life history features. The simulation analysis is able to explain the decline of the Pribilof Islands population by reconstructing pup estimates and counts of adult males over the period 1950 to 1980. Simulation results show that commercial female
harvesting and a series of poor juvenile survival rates were responsible for the observed decline in pup production on Saint Paul Island. The lower number of bulls counted during the last two decades can be accounted for if adult male survival was higher during the 1950s. The decline in adult male survival, possibly due to debris entanglement, does not appear to be equally true of females. The major driving variable of the fur seal system and the key factor that accounts for the overall decline of the Pribilof herd is the survival of juveniles. In this regard, the continued population decline through the 1980s appears to be maintained by exogenous factors that are independent of current management practices. Model results are considered reliable if simulation parameters (particularly adult survival) contain little error. A detailed procedure for analysing the sensitivity of model output to errors in simulation parameters is described in an adjoining appendix as is a revised procedure for estimating the survival of juvenile fur seals. The thesis concludes with recommendations for future research.

▼ As part of a health survey of New Zealand sea lions (Phocarctos hookeri) on Enderby Island,
Auckland Islands (50°30’S, 166°17’E), neonatal mortality was continuously monitored at the
Sandy Bay Beach rookery, from 1998/1999 to 2004/2005. The primary causes of death were
categorised as trauma (35%), bacterial (24%) and hookworm (13%) infections, starvation (13%)
and stillbirth (4%). During the 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 breeding seasons, bacterial epidemics
caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae increased mortality by three times the mean in non-epidemic
years.
Uncinaria spp. from New Zealand sea lion (NZSL) pups was described for the first time using
morphometric criteria. It differed from the two species already described in pinnipeds, Uncinaria
lucasi and Uncinaria hamiltoni, suggesting the existence of a different morphotype in NZSLs. A
study on the epidemiology of hookworm infection showed that all pups up to at least three months
of age harboured adult hookworms in their intestines and transmammary transmission was
identified as the route of infection of NZSL pups. Uncinariosis as a primary cause of mortality was
generally associated with anaemia, haemorrhagic enteritis and frank blood in the lumen. The
relationship between hookworm burden and clinical disease could not be clearly established.
The 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 bacterial epidemics at Sandy Bay Beach rookery were caused
by a clonal strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae as verified by pulse-field gel electrophoresis and
antimicrobial testing. Suppurative arthritis was the most common post-mortem diagnosis during
the two epidemic seasons. Internal lesions were consistent with septicaemia, which
explained the wide range of organs from which the pathogen was grown in pure culture. A
serological test investigating the exposure of NZSLs to Klebsiella spp. showed that the large
majority of pups up to two months of age did not have any anti-Klebsiella antibodies, even after
the epidemics, but that almost all the adults were seropositive. In addition, passive
immunoglobulin (Ig) transfer from lactating females to neonates was examined by measuring IgG
levels in pups and was very low compared to terrestrial mammals although similar to other
pinniped neonates.

▼ Despite broadly positive relations between
New Zealand and France,
New Zealand’s ties with
New Caledonia remain largely underdeveloped. This situation endures regardless of efforts in the last decade by the
New Caledonian and
New Zealand governments to improve relations. In 2011, if asked, most
New Zealanders would not know that French was the language spoken by their closest neighbour. In addition, very few
New Zealanders travel to
New Caledonia to take a holiday. Although exports to
New Caledonia are strong, not many
New Zealand businesses set up operations in
New Caledonia even though there are significant opportunities. Conversely, more
New Caledonians travel to
New Zealand for holidays than
New Zealanders go to
New Caledonia. From a trade perspective,
New Caledonia exports very little to
New Zealand. The trade balance is vastly in
New Zealand’s favour. Over the past decade,
New Zealand Foreign Affairs and Trade Ministers have focussed on the growing opportunity to develop the relationship and have visited
New Caledonia several times, accompanied by business and government delegations. The
New Caledonian government has responded with similar missions and in 2007 the ‘
New Caledonia Cultural Season’ was held in
New Zealand. This year-long celebration included a museum installation about
New Zealand’s deployment in
New Caledonia during World War II, a series of trade and diplomatic meetings and a number of cultural performances. Arising out of two conferences held during the Season, one in
New Caledonia and one in France, was a book of essays examining the relationship called “
New Zealand-
New Caledonia: Neighbours, Friends, Partners”. This book, with some essays written in French and some in English, looks at a number of links between
New Zealand and
New Caledonia, including religion, literature, trade and security. It offers an excellent starting point for the question posed in this thesis and will be widely referenced.
What explains why
New Zealand’s relations with
New Caledonia have struggled despite the continued development of a warm bilateral relationship with Paris? Ultimately it lies with a lack of strategic interests binding the two neighbours and their historical allegiances to competing colonisers. This thesis will examine the relationship of the Pacific neighbours in three parts: first their political history and association, second their cultural bonds and barriers and finally their trade relationship. It is only since the 1990s that France has encouraged
New Caledonia to chart its own political course. As a result,
New Caledonia is finding its feet politically and is making an effort to become more involved in the region. Prior to this, the historical implications of
New Caledonia being settled by France and
New Zealand being settled by England created an enduring barrier. It was a close run situation in that
New Zealand itself could well have become a French colony. This is largely based on confusion between politics and religion: the Catholics were interested in converting Polynesia in competition…

▼ O presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de identificar genomas de vírus em fezes de lobos marinhos sul-americanos (Arctocephalus australis) e lobos marinhos subantárticos (Arctocephalus tropicalis), duas espécies de pinípedes encontradas no litoral do Rio Grande do Sul. Embora já existam estudos sobre esse tema em outras espécies de pinípedes, nas espécies aqui trabalhadas o tema permanece inexplorado. Amostras de fezes foram obtidas de vinte e um lobos marinhos sul-americanos e dois lobos marinhos subantárticos encontrados no litoral rio-grandense com indícios de morte recente, durante os meses de Junho e Julho de 2012. Através de técnicas de PCR e sequenciamento buscou-se identificar genomas de circovírus, adenovírus, morbilivírus, calicivírus e coronavírus. A amplificação de um fragmento do gene rep permitiu a identificação de prováveis circovírus em amostras de seis lobos marinhos sul-americanos. Análises filogenéticas revelaram que três dos seis segmentos são sugestivos de prováveis membros do gênero Cyclovirus. Os genes amplificados de outras duas amostras provavelmente correspondem a membros do gênero Circovirus. Uma das amostras deu origem a um segmento gênico que não apresenta similaridade com nenhum gênero já proposto da família Circoviridae. Além disso, foi possível detectar também fragmentos de genomas de adenovírus em duas amostras; estes apresentam alto grau de similaridade de nucleotídeos com amostras de adenovírus humano tipo C. Nenhum fragmento genômico indicativo da presença de morbilivírus, calicivírus ou coronavírus foi encontrado. Os resultados aqui obtidos sugerem a presença de circovírus, ciclovírus e adenovírus em populações de lobos marinhos encontrados na costa do Rio Grande do Sul. Estes achados reforçam a necessidade da ampliação do conhecimento a respeito da ocorrência de infecções virais nestas espécies.
This study was conducted with the objective of identifying genomes of viruses in feces of south american fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) and subantarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus tropicalis), two species of pinnipeds found on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul. Although there are studies about this topic in other species of pinnipeds, it remains unexplored in these two species. Stool samples were obtained from twenty-one south american fur seals and two subantarctic fur seals found in Rio Grande do Sul coastline with evidences of recent death, during the months of June and July 2012. PCR and sequencing techniques were utilized to identify circovirus, adenovirus, morbillivirus, calicivirus and coronavirus genomes. The amplification of a rep gene fragment allowed the identification of supposed circoviruses in samples of six south american fur seals. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that three of the six segments are suggestive of probable members of the genus Cyclovirus. The amplified genes from two other samples probably correspond to members of the genus Circovirus. One of the samples gave rise to a gene segment that has no similarity with any genera already proposed of the…

▼ O lobo-marinho-sul-americano (Arctocephalus australis) membro da Ordem Carnivora, é comumente visto nos períodos de outono e inverno na costa brasileira do Rio Grande do Sul até o Rio de Janeiro, porém, sem colônias reprodutivas estabelecidas. A espécie pertence ao grupo dos pinípedes, carnívoros com membros em forma de nadadeiras que vivem em ambiente aquático e terrestre. Estudos sobre a morfologia da pele em pinípedes são raros e antigos, destes procederam muitos relatos divergentes, em virtude da colheita da pele sem referências anatômicas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever o sistema tegumentar da espécie Arctocephalus australis, utilizando animais que vieram a óbito por causas naturais de uma colônia reprodutiva do Uruguai. As áreas corporais colhidas dorso-ventralmente foram identificadas anatomicamente. Essas regiões foram examinadas por microscopia óptica, segundo critérios histológicos, histomorfométricos, histoquímicos e imuno-histoquímicos nas diferentes estruturas que constituem o sistema tegumentar. A pele do Arctocephalus australis apresentou diferenças entre as regiões de epiderme delgada e espessa. A epiderme delgada apresentou maior quantidade de pêlos do que a epiderme espessa, a qual em algumas regiões era destituída destes. Como os demais mamíferos, a pele do lobo-marinho-sul-americano apresentou glândulas sebáceas, glândulas sudoríparas apócrinas e merócrinas. As nadadeiras apresentaram o maior número de especializações entre as regiões do corpo estudadas, especialmente vinculadas à termorregulação, como o maior volume de glândulas sudoríparas e secções vasculares. Esta pesquisa apontou os aspectos morfofuncionais relacionados à biologia da espécie em ambientes distintos, e esclareceu alguns dados controversos na literatura sobre o sistema tegumentar em pinípedes.
The South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) members of the Order Carnivora is usually seen during the autumn and winter season in the Brazilian coast from Rio Grande do Sul to Rio de Janeiro, however, there are no reports of reproductive colonies established. The species belongs to the group of pinnipeds, carnivorous with limbs fin-shaped that inhabits both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Studies of the skin morphology are rare and ancient; these studies have arisen many divergent reports, due to sampling of the skin without anatomical references. The purpose of this research was to describe the integumentary system of the species Arctocephalus australis, using animals that came to death by natural cases from reproductive colonies from Uruguay. The body dorsal and ventral regions were identified anatomically. These regions were examined by light microscopy, according to the histological, histomophometric, histochemical and immunohistochemical criteria in the different structures constituting the integumentary system. The skin of the Arctocephalus australis showed differences between the thin and thick epidermis. The thin epidermis showed larger amount of hair follicles than the thicker epidermis, which in some…

▼ This study found evidence of intermittent, multi-year residency periods in northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) using stable isotope ratios in vibrissae and canine teeth. Northern fur seals migrate from the Bering Sea during summer months to lower latitudes and slightly warmer waters of the northeastern Pacific Ocean and California Current in the winter. To determine the length of time spent away from the Bering Sea, growth rate was estimated using the covarying oscillations δ13C and δ15N, estimated to be 0.09 mm/day. The δ13C and δ15N in vibrissae from 30 male fur seals showed a minimum of 13 separate periods of stable covariance covering 3.25+ cm, indicating at least 1 year in warmer, less productive waters of the northeastern Pacific Ocean. The vibrissae isotope ratios were used in conjunction with δ18O from tooth dentin growth layer groups of 20 male northern fur seals; they showed significant enrichment in δ18O in 50% of the animals at age 1-2 years, which indicates extended periods of time spent in lower latitudes in the North Pacific Ocean as δ18O is typically enriched in warmer, less productive waters. Significant changes in δ18O were found to be ~ 0.2‰ enrichment per 10º south latitude, while longitude was found to have 0.2‰ enrichment per 50˚ East longitude. These data show that latitudinal changes, those related to the southerly migration from the Bering Sea to the northeastern Pacific Ocean, are a stronger factor in the shifts in dentinal δ18O than longitudinal shifts. These intermittent periods of occupation are important when estimating population abundance of northern fur seals, especially pups and juveniles.

▼ Dyer Island is thought to host one of the most abundant
populations of
white sharks on the planet; this is often credited
to the large (55 – 60,000) Cape
fur
seal colony at Geyser Rock.
Yet relatively little work has ever been produced from
the area.
This may be attributed to the harshness in its location as a study
site, exposed
to wind and swell from west to east which limits
research periods. This study
accounts for over 220 hrs of manual
tracking at Dyer Island with a further 68 added
from the inshore
shallow areas of the bay. Sharks focused their movements and
habitat use to reefs or channels that allowed access to Cape
fur
seals. Movement-
Based Kernel Estimates (MKDE) were used to
compute home range estimates for
shark movements through and
around the heterogeneous structures of Dyer Island and
Geyser
Rock. Inshore two core areas were revealed, one being the major
reef system
at Joubertsdam and the other at a kelp reef where the
tracked shark had fed on a Cape
fur seal. At Dyer Island one core
area was identified in a narrow channel, ‘Shark
Alley’, here a
second tracked shark foraged for entire days within meters of
rafting
Cape
fur seals.
Rate of Movement (ROM) and Linearity (LI)
of tracks were low during daytime and
movements were focused
around areas such as Shark Alley or other areas close to the
seal
colony before moving into deeper water or distant reefs with higher
rates of ROM
and LI at night. If moonlight was strong foraging
would take place to the south of
Geyser Rock but with higher ROM
and LI than observed during the day. Foraging
patterns in this
study contrast studies from other sites in South Africa and home
range
and activity areas were comparatively much smaller than
observed in Mossel Bay. It has been established that several known
white sharks forage at Dyer Island and the
other studied
aggregation sites, such differences in foraging would suggest that
they
are able to adapt their foraging behaviour to suit the
environment they are in; making
them site specific in their
foraging ecology.
Both satellite and acoustic telemetry are
revealing aggregation hotspots of white
sharks in South Africa. It
is important that such information is used to assist the
recovery
of the species which has been protected since 1991, yet is rarely
considered
in planning of coastal developments.

▼ The Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) population has displayed a relatively slow rate of recovery since being hunted by commercial sealers during the early 19th century. Despite this, population abundance doubled in the past 2 – 3 decades, indicating that the population growth rate has recently increased. Yet, the factors influencing the population’s dynamics are poorly understood, primarily because basic demographic rates are unknown.
Female age, survival, fecundity, breeding and physiology were studied at Kanowna Island, Bass Strait, Australia, between 2003 – 2006 by conducting censuses and captures (n = 294). Mark-recapture estimates of pup production were used to validate direct pup counts, allowing a 9-year dataset to be used for calculation of the population growth rate (2.2% p.a.) and investigation of environmental influences on reproductive success. Annual pup production (x = 3108) was synchronous, with 90% of births occurring within 28 days of the median birth date of 23 November. Births occurred earlier in years when pup production and female body condition were high and these factors were correlated with local oceanographic indicators, suggesting that reproductive success is constrained by environmentally-mediated nutritional stress.
Pregnancy was assessed by blood plasma progesterone radioimmunoassay and the pupping status of the same females was observed during breeding season. Despite high mid-gestation pregnancy rates (x = 84%), the birth rate was lower than in other fur seals (x = 53%), suggesting that late-term abortion is common. Lactating females were less likely to pup, indicating that nutrition may be insufficient to support concurrent lactation and gestation.
Age and morphometric data were used to construct body growth, age structure and survivorship models. Adult female survival rates were similar to those of other fur seals (x = 88.5%). A life table was constructed and its age-specific survival and fecundity rates used in a Leslie-matrix model to project the population growth rate (2.2% p.a.) and determine the relative influence of each parameter. The abundance of female non-pups was 6 times greater than that of female pups, which is approximately 50% higher than previous conversion factors used to extrapolate population abundance from pup censuses in Australian fur seals. However, if the non-pup sex ratios of other otariids are considered, the pup:population conversion factor is 4.5.
Compared to a study performed before the recent population increase, the modern population displays similar body growth and fecundity rates but higher survival rates. This suggests that recent population growth resulted from a relaxation of hunting and/or predation mortality rather than from increased food availability. The low population growth rate is attributed to a low birth rate associated with nutritional…

▼ Data collected from Pribilof far seals, Callorhinus ursinus, on land (1911-89) and at sea (1958-74) are analyzed to establish biological relationships and distinguish ecological patterns that are relevant to understanding and managing northern fur seal populations. The thesis follows the development of the fur seal from conception and birth through to sexual maturity and finally to a synthesis of the earlier material in terms of population regulation, management, and reasons for the decline of the Pribilof herd. Growth curves show that male fetuses grow faster and larger than female fetuses, and that fetal size is influenced by the age, size, and reproductive history of the mother. Juvenile and adult fur seals experience pronounced seasonal increases and decreases in body length and mass. Rapid gains in mass and growth occur during a brief 1-3 month period as the population migrates through the coastal waters of northern British Columbia and Alaska on its way to the Pribilof Islands. Body mass is gradually lost during the rest of the year while fasting on land and wintering along the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. The timing of migration and pupping is highly synchronized from year to year and may be related to the effect of climatic conditions on pup survival during the breeding season. Predictions from a thermal budget developed for pups and the results of a seasonal decomposition of weather patterns on the Pribilof Islands show that the synchronism of births in early July corresponds to the start of three months of conditions that are optimal for growth and survival of pups. Long term fluctuations are noted in
pup mass and subadult growth rates which may be related to underlying, large scale natural changes in prey abundance. Changes in the physiological condition (body growth) and vital rates (survival and reproduction) are analyzed for the period 1911-89 as the population increased and decreased. Few density dependent relationships could be demonstrated. Two hypotheses concerning the current decline of the Pribilof population are reviewed and a new, third hypothesis is proposed. The thesis also examines biases in data collection related to the effects of tagging and the handling of fur seals and outlines some directions for future research.
Subjects/Keywords: Northern fur seal; Marine mammals – Alaska – Pribilof Islands

▼ The coastal, indigenous communities around Alaska have subsisted on marine animals for generations, often focusing on large apex predators such as seals, sea lions, and whales. Three species of pinnipeds (harbor seal, Steller sea lion, northern fur seal) and the northern sea otter have all undergone significant population declines since the 1970s, some regions more than others. Archived vibrissae (whiskers) and body tissues from these four species were available from the Bering Sea and throughout the Gulf of Alaska from the 1990s and early 2000s. Tissues from these species are exceedingly difficult to obtain; thus, the archived tissues provided a finite and irreplaceable resource of data. Analysis of these archived tissues indicates which species, tissues, and gender bioaccumulate metals more readily. In this study twelve heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, vanadium, zinc) were analyzed in vibrissae from the four select species, and in body tissues from harbor seals and Steller sea lions. The samples were collected from three regions (southeastern, southcentral, and southwestern Alaska) during the 1990s through early 2000s. Significant differences of heavy metal concentrations in vibrissae were detected among elements (p2(110) = 454.81, p2(66) = 310.88, p
