| Lineage | During deployment of tracking devices (PTT and GPS), seals were sexed, aged and length and girth measured (where possible). From some individuals, whiskers (e.g. for dietary stable isotope analysis), fur (e.g. for pollutant studies) or skin (e.g. for genetics) were collected and whether females were nursing pups was recorded. Data collection occurred at three locations around the Falkland Islands (Fur Seals: North Fur Island and Volunteer Rocks; Sea Lions: Cape Dolphin) whose geographic coordinates were recorded. Through the Unique ID number assigned to each individual it is possible to correlate these data with the tracking data in IMS-GIS records FK-SAERI-260 and FK-SAERI-261. There are two work sheets in the data file: 1) 'Key': contains an explanation of each column heading in the main work sheet; 2) 'GAPDeployments_Pinnipeds_Master': main worksheet which contains the data |
