Numbers of elephant seals at Prince Edward Island, Southern Ocean : short communication
2005
A rapid decline of at least 66.3% was recorded in the
relatively small breeding population of southern
elephant seals, Mirounga leonine , at Prince Edward
Island between 1977 and 2004. The estimated
number of births has declined from at least 386 to
130 and the 2004 population size numbers 410
(excluding pups of the year). A few tagged seals from
neighbouring Marion Island were found to be present.
All were immature and had hauled out for the
pending moulting season.
