Ontogeny in marine tagging and tracking science: technologies and data gaps (2012, background): “Steller sea lions are declining in numbers in most of Alaska and Russia (Loughlin et al. 2003), and reduced juvenile survival is believed to be a major contributing factor (Trites & Donnelly 2003, RaumSuryan et al. 2004).”
A review of gastrolith function with implications for fossil vertebrates and a revised classification (2007, background): “In the Washington State area, USA, juvenile Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) dived to a mean depth of 39 m, a mean maximum depth of 145 m, and an absolute maximum depth of 328 m (Loughlin et al. 2003).”
Estimating abundance of killer whales in the nearshore waters of the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands using line-transect sampling (2007, background): “In the summer, Steller sea lions are thought to forage primarily in relatively close proximity to their rookeries and haulouts (Merrick and Loughlin 1997; Loughlin et al. 2003).”
