Kirkwood R, Gales N, Lynch M and Dann P, 2002. Satellite tracker deployments on adult, male Australian fur seals Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus: methods and preliminary results. Australian Mammalogy 24: 73-83.In May 1999, four adult male, Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) from the Seal Rocks colony, Victoria, were fitted with satellite transmitters that provided locations for between 2 and 7 months. Foraging trips during winter and early spring averaged 7.4 days (range for all trips 0.9 to 24.6) and between-trip rests lasted 2.8 days (range 0.3 to 5.7). Between-trip rest sites included Seal Rocks, other colonies and other haul-out sites. The seals foraged mostly in western Bass Strait and in water depths < 100 m.
