Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) satellite telemetry data used to determine at-sea distribution in the western-central Aleutian Islands, Alaska 2000-2013

For this study we combined telemetry data from satellite-linked transmitters that were deployed on juvenile (n = 39) and adult female (n = 6) Steller sea lions during 2000-2013 in the western and central Aleutian Islands and conducted a spatial analysis to identify patterns of use relative to Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) critical habitat (50 CFR 226.202) and bathymetry in an area of intense fisheries management measures that were intended to reduce potential competition. Location data (Lander et al Table 1 Argos data) and animal information (Lander et al Table 2 Suppl info) are presented in two CSV files.
