Starting before the 17th century and not phased out until 1911, sea otters were hunted aggressively for their exceptionally warm and valuable pelts, which could fetch up to $2500 US.
A explotación deste animal empezou no século XVII e non se acabou ata 1911, as londras mariñas foron cazadas pola súa pelame excepcionalmente cálida e valiosa, que podía valer 2 500 dólares americanos.
