17 Summary of SSL along the Asian coast Steller sea lion abundance declined from a maximum of 115, to 15, individuals from 189 to 199; early decline likely influenced by harvests at some sites Changes in abundance occurred during all time periods but varied by site and period. Recent increases observed in Okhotsk region Southern extent of Steller sea lion distribution has moved north by some 5-9 km over the past 5 years

27 Summary of NFS trends Some past declines largely influenced by harvests Female harvest on the Pribilofs; ; may have affected other populations Recently: Declines in the Bering Sea Substantial increases at Tuleny, Kuril,, and Bogoslof Islands
28 Using pinniped population trends as indicators of ecosystem change Use of historical data complicated by: Gaps in time series Effects of harvests Current/future data promising. Needs: Assess influence of human activities on population trends (development, fishing, etc.) Consider other population characteristics Demographic: trends may be driven by changes in age structure (A. Kuzin; ; NFS at Tuleny I.) Behavioral: seasonal geographic distribution
