Macquarie Island Elephant Seal demographics

Between 1951-1965 and 1993-1999 newly weaned southern elephant seal pups were captured and permanently marked. Organised re-sight efforts were made to provide longitudinal demographic data for this population. Biological data from individual short-term scientific projects includes information on physical condition for a portion of pups and adult seals.
