North Pacific Research Board Final Report Project 514, 79 p. These data are part of North Pacific Research Board Project 414 and Project 514. Project 514 provided a second year of data collection to the study detailed in Banks et al. (2006; North Pacific Research Board Project 414 Final Report; https://workspace.aoos.org/published/file/48ffae91-0274-4b2b-bc84-5378554070c1/f0414_final_report.pdf?source=catalog&portalId=92), and are summarized together in Springer et al. (2008; North Pacific Research Board Project 514 Final Report; https://workspace.aoos.org/files/2580819/514_Final%20report.pdf?source=catalog&portalId=92 Adult female northern fur seals were captured with hoop nets at 2 breeding colonies (Reef and Vostochni Rookeries) on St. Paul Island, Alaska, and at the single breeding colony on Bogoslof Island, Alaska. Captures occurred during November, 2004 (St. Paul Island only); July, 2005; October-November, 2005; and July 2006. 20 seals at each island and during each capture period were weighed, measured, flipper tagged, and instrumented with satellite tags (platform transmitter terminals, or PTTs), for a total of 140 deployments. Seals were also instrumented with archival time-depth recorders (TDRs) during the July, 2005 (n = 20 TDRs at each island) and July, 2006 (n = 17 TDRs at each island) capture periods. Seals were recaptured, and the instruments recovered, at the end of the each summer. Data collection began on 11/06/2004 and ended on 10/19/2006; data represent 2 winter (fur seal migration) and 2 summer (fur seal lactation) study seasons. PTT (model: Kiwisat 101 and 202; Sirtrack Limited, Havelock North, New Zealand) transmissions were programmed to duty cycle at 4 hours on, 8 hours off during the winter study seasons and at 4 hours on, 4 hours off during the summer study seasons. TDRs (model Mk9; Wildlife Computers, Redmond, WA) sampled depth and temperature every 5 second. Data are composed of: fur seal capture and instrument deployment histories (1 spreadsheet); seal locations obtained from PTT deployments (4 spreadsheets, each containing all seal locations during a study season); TDR environmental sampling records (65 text files in 4 folders, each file representing a single TDR deployment and each folder representing the deployment island and summer study year for the included TDR files). Data were collected to compare fundamental elements of adult female fur seal foraging strategies (e.g., foraging range and region, attendance patterns) in different ecoregions of the Bering Sea (St. Paul Island vs. Bogoslof Island) during the summer lactation period, and to compare travel routes and habitat use of adult female fur seals from these islands during the annual winter migration into the North Pacific Ocean.

These projects compare the consequences of adult female northern fur seal foraging strategies to the growth and condition of fur seal mothers and pups from islands with different population trajectories (St. Paul declining, Bogoslof increasing). Data were collected for the winter migration into the North Pacific Ocean and for the summer lactation period, during two annual cycles, to help identify factors important to the divergent population trends. false eng false Capture data NPRB Projects 414 and 514.xlsx 2019-05-28 publication PTT location data files 2019-05-28 publication TDR data folders 2019-05-28 publication CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) North Pacific Research Board 907 644 6700 1007 West 3rd Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage AK 99501 USA http://www.nprb.org/index.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link North Pacific Research Board Website Website listed for North Pacific Research Board information distributor http://projects.nprb.org/#metadata/686822bb-2330-4a51-8882-9aec5180ce77/project/files WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link http://projects.nprb.org/#metadata/686822bb-2330-4a51-8882-9aec5180ce77/project/files Data files for NPRB Project 0414 Seasonal foraging strategies and consequences for Northern Fur Seals at Colonies with opposite population trends download http://projects.nprb.org/#metadata/216d9052-2a25-4919-b49e-212f8dd122e6/project/files WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link http://projects.nprb.org/#metadata/216d9052-2a25-4919-b49e-212f8dd122e6/project/files Data files for NPRB Project 0514 Consequences of Fur Seal foraging strategies download dataset Completeness Report PTT data that does not last through a season indicates that either the PTT failed or the PTT attachement failed (i.e., the PTT fell off); data represents the entire transmission life of each PTT deployed during the study. PTT transmissions were programmed to duty cycle at 4 hours on, 8 hours off during the winter study seasons and at 4 hours on, 4 hours off during the summer study seasons. TDRs are archival tags. Files do not exist if they were not recovered (e.g., if animals were not recaptured at the end of the summer season, or if the tags had fallen off). TDRs were programmed to sample depth and temperature every 5 seconds. unknown otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None | Use Constraints: Metadata are subject to revision at any time and information within the metadata record should not be cited without author consent.
