abstract

Non-breeding population size and composition of Arctocephalus gazella on the Courbet Peninsula of Kerguelen were determined during January 1980. The approximately 589 individuals, concentrated on the leeward east coast, is a marked increase over 1968 and provides a baseline value to assess likely future changes. The possibility exists that A. gazella breeds elsewhere on the archipelago, and that Hydrurga leptonyx occurs year round.
