We stated that our acoustic surveys in Prince William Sound since 1993 and infrared surveys since 2000 suggested that these sea lions “feed exclusively” on herring. However, it has been drawn to our attention that this statement is misleading. In clarification, the sea lions were selectively targeting the relatively shallow (0–50-m depth) schools of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) at night as a source of winter forage to the exclusion of relatively larger and deeper (150–250 m) concentrations of walleye pollock.
