    • AFSC/NMML/CCEP: Capture and resight data of California sea lions in Washington State, 1989 to 2006

    Metadata Updated: April 1, 2024

    This dataset contains data from the capture and recapture of over 1500 male California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) from Washington between 1989-2006. The data fields include capture data such as time, location, weight, length, and girth for each animal captured. The dataset also includes records of resights of each animal from records collected from observers from California to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The dataset also contains information from opportunistic captures of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the same region.

    Lineage Juvenile, subadult, and adult male California sea lions were captured at two locations in Washington (i.e. Everett and Seattle). The time, location, weight, length, and girth for each animal was recorded. Subsequently, animals were marked by a brand (hot iron) and/or flipper tags. Resights of marked individuals were recorded. Dataset reflects information of captured California sea lions in Washington and their subsequent resights/observations throughout the Pacific Northwest.
