The update of Amelie Auge research on the Sea Lions appeared in the Otago Daily times.

The initial results show the the Otago Peninsula population has better feeding grounds to that of the Auckland Island population. From the Peninsula, the Sea Lions are swimming from a few kilometres to about 24km off the coast. Auckland Island Sea Lions, however, make a 350km return trip. The female Sea Lion body weight is much higher too in the Peninsula population.  This confirms that the Otago Coastline is a great feeding place for marine wildlife. 

The two female results released were;

Honey (5 years old). She is diving and feeding is water 80 to 100m deep. Her maximum dives have been 120metres. She travels 24km offshore.

Aurora (4 years old) dives much shallower 30-50metres and her deepest dive is 100metres. She also feeds closer to shore about 16km off shore.
