Resumen:
Knowledge of the real size of any wild populationis an essential tool to take management and conservationmeasures and even more so when the populationstudied may have potential conflicts with humans.Because of this, the objective of this study was to estimatethe population size of two South American sea lionmale haul-outs using mark-resighting techniques. Theresults showed that on average, the estimated total numberof animals tripled the number of animals recordedby direct counting. These findings demonstrate that it isnecessary to continue researching population estimatemethods to apply when taking conservation measuresin the future.
