Steller Sea Lion Research Project

 

Episode III: Panning for Gold

One of the best ways to determine what goes into the diet of a Steller sea lion is to measure what comes out the other end.

This procedure, called scat analysis, helps scientists to better understand how sea lions metabolize different prey.

In the long run, it may help to conserve wild populations.
