摘要: The efficacy of seal rehabilitation is examined in a postrelease study dive ability harbor pups (Phoca vitulina) the Wash, United Kingdom. Six rehabilitated seals were fitted with Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) Argos Satellite Relay Data Logger tags and their individual behavior was monitored for an average 122 d. upper 90 percentile edge (dive duration [DD90] percentage time at-sea spent [PD90]), 7 d bins, used as proxy physiological ability. results are compared data from five wild adult seals. There no statistically significant difference between (1) mean track (126.20 ± 27.48 [SD] d) (150.2 24.62 (P= 0.108), indicating evidence that short-term survival less group; (2) mass-scaled DD90 (3.95 0.37 min) (4.09 0.55 0.632); (3) PD90 (81.62 1.21%) (81.48 3.93%) 0.943). These three all suggest success program terms
