Table 3: The location of known breeding sites for the Australian sea lion and range of pup counts over the 23 years from 1985.
Locations are given in decimal degrees. Local names are noted by quotation marks. States are indicated as SA (South Australia) and WA (Western Australia). The year
and method used for the most recent pup count for each location are given.
Estimation methods are: (1) Mark-recapture (Petersen), (2) Direct count, (3) Cumulative mark and count, (4) Partial count from a boat or cliff. Methods range in decreasing order of accuracy from: 1 (most accurate) to 4 (highly inaccurate). ‘UK’ indicates timing of breeding season unknown. Sources of pup count data are: (1) Shaughnessy (2005b), Shaughnessy & Goldsworthy (2007), (2) Goldsworthy et al. (2008b), (3) Goldsworthy
et al. (2008a), (4) Gales et al. (1994), (5) Goldsworthy et al. (2009b), (6) Goldsworthy
et al. (2007a), (7) Shaughnessy et al. (2005), (8) Robinson et al. (2008), (9) Dennis (2005), (10) Shaughnessy (2005a), (11) Shaughnessy (2008), (12) Goldsworthy et al. (2007b),
(13) S. Goldsworthy (unpublished data), Shaughnessy et al. (2011), (14) Goldsworthy
et al. (2003)*, (15) Campbell & Gales (unpublished), (16) Shaughnessy et al. (2009),
(17) Dennis & Shaughnessy (1996), (18) Dennis & Shaughnessy (1999), (19) N. Gales (unpublished data), (20) Goldsworthy et al. (2009a). The 58 breeding sites with five or more pups (i.e. those known as ‘breeding colonies’) are considered as habitat critical
to the survival of the species.
* 26 pups from haul-out sites (Dennis & Shaughnessy, 1996) were apportioned to
B1-B6, B8, B9 on the basis of the proportion of pups at each site.
