description: In this most recent of a symposium series named for Lowell Wakefield, founder of the Alaska king crab industry, contributors to 37 papers and four roundtable discussions address concerns over trends in the populations of all five sea lion species. E.g., while Stellar sea lions have become endangered in many parts of their range, other sea lions numbers are increasing. Meeting in Anchorage in fall 2004, international experts (for whom contact information is listed) discuss study methods, population models, and data on fishing's impact on diet and other factors contributing to sea lion ecology.
