Abstract: |
The dataset contains initial capture and marking data for California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) pups at San Miguel Island, California and subsequent resighting of the marked animals throughout the time series. The data are used in mark-recapture analysis to estimate survival rates. |
Purpose: |
The California sea lion survival dataset is used to estimate survival rates for marked California sea lions that can then be used in population models for stock status and Optimum Sustainable Population (OSP) determination. |

Data Quality
Completeness Report: |
Data include capture information for 1987-2007 pup cohorts at San Miguel Island. Resightings are from 1990-2009 for animals in these cohorts. Resightings are limited to summer from May 15-August 15 each year. Resights are mostly at San Miguel Island but also include other Channel Islands, Año Nuevo Island, and coastal haulouts along the central California coast. |
---|---|
Conceptual Consistency: |
Not applicable. |
Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
Initial capture data were recorded in the field on datasheets and then entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet where they were error checked and then imported into the Microsoft Access database. Prior to 2001, data were entered onto datasheets or in data books and transcribed each evening into a database. After 2001, sightings of branded or tagged animals were entered directly into Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with error checking code while observers were in the field. Sightings of brands or tags that were flagged as not existing in the database, wrong sex identification for an animal, or had not been seen in more than two years were photographed for later confirmation. Data were checked for duplicates, spelling errors, and incorrect field assignments each evening and before being uploaded into the database. |

Lineage
Lineage Statement: |
Up to 500, 3-month-old California sea lion pups were branded on the left or right shoulder and tagged in the foreflippers each year at San Miguel Island, California. Each year thereafter, biologists used binoculars, spotting scopes, and cameras to resight animals at San Miguel Island, other Channel Islands, and at coastal haulouts along the California coast during the summer from May through August. The individual's brand and/or tag number, area sighted, age class, sex and reproductive status (e.g. with/without a pup) were recorded. Prior to 2001, data were entered onto datasheets or in data books and transcribed each evening into a database. After 2001, data were entered in the field into a computer tablet using Microsoft Excel with an error-checking program. These capture and resighting data can be used to construct capture/sighting histories that can then be used in mark-recapture analysis. |
