Résumé

Antarctic fur seal pup growth studies presented and reviewed by WG-EMM-01 led to discussion on the need to modify Standard Method C2: Pup growth. The issues discussed relate to the timing of sampling and the selection of animals to weigh. The following is a proposal on how the protocol and reporting should be changed to facilitate future inter-annual and inter-regional comparisons of fur seal pup growth.
