Scat samples were collected primarily from haulout sites in Puget Sound and a few were collected along the northern-outer Washington coast. Stomach content samples were collected from dead/stranded California sea lions throughout Washington. The data contains prey identifications and analyses of samples including prey species composition, frequency of occurrence, and size of prey. The purpose of this dataset is to to examine food habits for male California sea lions in Washington to investigate changes in their diets, as well as to investigate potential impacts to commercial and/or sport fisheries. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0145637 Preview graphic PNG 0145637 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2016-03-10 publication ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - STOMACH CONTENTS biological data cetacean MARINE MAMMALS STOMACH CONTENTS STOMACH CONTENTS - PREY TAXONOMY STOMACH CONTENTS - PREY WET WEIGHT theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS laboratory analysis microscope visual analysis visual estimate visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological laboratory analyses manual sample collection marine mammal observation visual estimate visual observation theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Marine Mammal Laboratory dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Marine Mammal Laboratory dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS North Pacific Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC/MML > Marine Mammal Laboratory, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
