Physiological predictors of long-term survival in juvenile Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus)

We sought to identify blood and condition parameters that act as predictors of long term survival in juvenile Steller sea lions monitored through mark-resight techniques. Increased mass and mean white blood cell counts were found to best predict long term survival and were associated with higher survival rates in juveniles.
