	Interactions Between Commercial Fishing and Walleye Pollock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		One of several explanations offered for the declining number of Steller sea lions was that large-scale commercial fisheries, such as those for walleye pollock and Atka mackerel (Pleurogrammus monopterygius), compete with sea lion populations by reducing the availability of potential prey in relatively localized areas.
		For example, fishing removals may cause a decline in the abundance of a prey species within a localized area, but recovery to prefishery levels may be so quick that impacts to predator foraging success would be negligible.
		The primary goal of the AFSC study was to develop a field program to investigate the first question of whether measurable changes in spatial patterns and abundance occurred in walleye pollock at scales relevant to sea lion foraging.
