Notice of permits issued under

AGENCY:
ACTION:
1. Applicant
Jennifer Burns, Department of
Biological Sciences, CPISB 202C,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
Take and Enter Antarctic Specially
Protected Areas (ASPA’s). The applicant
plans to study the interactions between
reproduction, molt, and condition is
particularly important in Weddell seals,
as molt coincides with the end of
embryonic diapause and the start of
active gestation. The research will
address three fundamental questions: (1)
What intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors
determine molt phenology in Weddell
seals; (2) How does late season
condition and molt status influence
current pregnancy and future
parturition rates; and (3) To what extent
might changes in food availability
during the austral summer impact molt
timing and future reproductive success.
To achieve project goals, 24 adult
females of known-age and knownreproductive history will receive a full
health assessment (mass,
morphometrics, blood and tissue
samples) and be outfitted with VHF (to
facilitate relocation) and TDR/GPS tags
(to track mid-summer behavior). Should
any of these females be accompanied by
nursing pups, the pups will be flipper
tagged and weighed. In addition to
handling activities, a range-wide
population survey will be conducted.
The applicant plans to enter ASPA 121Cape Royds, ASPA 155-Cape Evans,
and/or ASPA 157-Backdoor Bay, Cape
Royds should any seals be relocated in
the area. The applicant plans to salvage
tissue samples from dead seals if found.
