In the whole region of Bay the maximum number of 964 elephant seals was noticed on 5 Jan. 1979. The biggest nonbreeding colonies were observed in the mouth region of the Bay. In December the males made up 74% of the whole population, their number decreased to 17% in February. Most individuals belonged to the IV class of age (6—9 years old). Introductory observations of 24 h activity indicates four peaks of activity in the groups observed on the coast.
