Steller's Sea Lion

Steller's Seelöwen

Fishermen are always concerned about the impact of sea lions on fish stocks. On average, females consume 5-10kg and males 10-20kg of fish daily. Steller's Sea Lions also create problems for fishermen by interfering with fishing activities. Some learn to follow commercial trollers and steal salmon from their lines.
