El Nino is a meteorological and oceanographic phenomenon, which
occurs at irregular intervals in the eastern tropical Pacific. Its
most obvious characteristic is the warming of surface waters, which
causes enormous disturbances of the marine environment. A severe
Nino may also affect continental systems worldwide. This book
gathers in a comprehensive way the information available on the
effects of the exceptionally strong 1982-83 Nino on a group of
marine mammals, the pinnipeds. It presents an analysis of the
effects of environmental stress on the populations of top
predators. Data and interpretations are based on a most unusual
collection of long-term studies of pinniped population dynamics,
behavior and ecology which spanned the El Nino event. The responses
of pinniped populations to the El Nino disturbance of the marine
ecosystem also has important implications for the management and
conservation of marine mammal populations.
