ABSTRACT
In October 2018, three Northern fur seals (two adult females and one juvenile male) were deployed with satellite tags on the Tyuleniy Island in the Sea of Okhotsk. The operational time of the tags ranged from 33 to 203 days. The adult females started their winter migration in the first half of November; the initial stage of their winter migration occurred in the Japan/East Sea, which they entered through the La Perouse Strait. The juvenile male left the rookery in mid-October, crossed the Sea of Okhotsk in a north-western direction and returned to the south. The male had reached the coastal areas of Hokkaido Island, Japan by the end of November. From the Sea of Okhotsk, the male entered the Pacific Ocean through the Yekaterina Strait and subsequently entered the Japan/East Sea via the Tsugaru Strait. The winter foraging of the male occurred within the north-eastern part of the Japan/East Sea just off the Tsugaru Strait. After 3 months, the male returned to the Pacific and remained off the Sanriku Coast (Honshu Island).
