... objective was to determine whether nutritional stress (restricted food intake resulting in a 10% decrease in body mass) altered the calculated aerobic dive limit (cADL) of four captive sea lions diving in the open ocean, and how this related to changes in observed dive behaviour. We measured diving...

... animals, the calculated ADL for this group (61.3 s) was indistinguishable from that of `surface swimmers' (61.8 s). Few differences were observed in the post-training dive behaviour of `surface swimmers' and`divers', a finding consistent with the strong similarity in their calculated aerobic dive...
