Sea lion tracking study (Western Australia)

Reason for the study

  • The Australian sea lion is an endangered species.
  • Until 1892, numbers were affected by hunting.
  • Sea lions are now affected by nets used to control 31.

Animal tracking systems

  • Considerations when choosing a tracking method include 32 and ease of use.
  • Plastic tags: the animal must be easy to 33.
  • GPS tracking will not work in the 34.
  • In isolated regions, some animals are tracked by 35, e.g. the polar bear.
  • Some animals are identified by markings, e.g. the dolphin is identified by its scars.

Challenges of tracking sea lions

  • Perth study: the sea lions lost their tags. They rubbed against 36 to remove them.
  • Californian researchers used 37 to identify sea lions. This was unreliable due to regular loss of fur.

Our study

Aims

  • to find out if sea lions’ whiskers can be used to identify them
  • to create a 38 to use as a guide

Methods

  • contacting 39 in Australia for photographs
  • asking the 40 to get involved
