Science & Data

Between 1911 and 1984, northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) research was carried out by Canada, Japan, Russia, and the United States under the Treaty for the Preservation and Protection of Fur Seals and Sea Otters. Since 1984, studies have been carried out independently by cooperating former member nations.

Videotapes of beluga whale groups were collected during aerial survey work in Cook Inlet, Alaska, from June 1-5, 1994.

Scientists from the National Marine Mammal Laboratory have published reports of annual studies of northern fur seals from the Pribilof Islands since 1958, and from San Miguel Island off Southern California since 1968. This document presents the results of research conducted in 1992.

This report summarizes northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) research conducted by scientists from the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in 1991. Research was conducted on St. George Island and St. Paul Island of the Pribilof Island group in the eastern Bering Sea, and on San Miguel Island and Castle Rockin Southern California.

The National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML) is responsible for collecting biological and management data on the northern fur seal, (Callorhinus ursinus), under the Fur Seal Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act in absence of the Fur Seal Convention which expired in 1984.

In 1985, the United States, Canada, Japan, and the Soviet Union cooperatively carried out research on the northern fur seal, Callorhinus ursinus, on land and at sea. Scientists from the National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML) in Seattle, Washington, have routinely conducted annual surveys and studies on U.S. islands under terms of the Interim Convention on the Conservation of North Pacific Fur Seals. Although this Convention lapsed in October of 1984, studies have continued annually by former member nations. In particular, studies have been conducted on the Pribilof Islands and Bogoslof Island in Alaska and San Miguel Island off southern California where fur seals breed and haul out. This report summarizes the research carried out on these islands in 1984 and 1985.
