Changes in California sea lion diet during a period of substantial climate variability

The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a productive eastern boundary upwelling system that supports a wide variety of forage stocks. Decadal and interannual variability in the environment influence forage species, which in turn affects predators. The recent diet of California sea lions ( Zalophus...

description The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a productive eastern boundary upwelling system that supports a wide variety of forage stocks. Decadal and interannual variability in the environment influence forage species, which in turn affects predators. The recent diet of California sea lions ( Zalophus californianus ; CSL) from Central California was determined using identification of hard parts from scat samples ( n  = 785) collected on Año Nuevo Island (37.1083°N 122.3378°W) in 2010 and 2012–2016. Comparisons were made with previously reported data from the late 1990’s and with prey availability as measured by fishery-independent surveys. A significant shift in diet was seen between the two decades where diet from the 1990’s was dominated by Pacific sardine ( Sardinops sagax ) and northern anchovy ( Engraulis mordax ). By 2010, diet was more diverse, characterized by rockfishes, Pacific hake, and market squid. There were also strong interannual differences in diet during the most recent decade, a time of substantial climate variability in the North Pacific Ocean. In general, prey were consumed in relation to what was available in the environment.
