APPENDIX C 



BEHAVIOR NOTES 



The actions of seals when first seen were 

 recorded during the running of transects off 

 California in 1965. These actions were classi- 

 fied as: (1) active- - including swimming and 

 feeding, (2) sleeping, and (3) resting but awake. 



If the sea was calm, most seals were sleep- 

 ing during the morning, but in the afternoon 

 most would be active or awake and only a few 

 asleep. During stormy weather nnost seals 

 were active. 



Other observations are listed in table 

 C-1.
