Blog Entry: Sea Lion Updates May 14, 2008, Sea Lion Necropsies Point to Heat Prostration: NOAA Fisheries, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have reviewed necropsy findings on the four California and two Steller sea lions that died May 4th at Bonneville Dam. The findings for all six animals are consistent with death from heat prostration. More conclusive results may be available once studies of tissue samples taken from the dead animals are completed, in about 10 days. The investigation into the circumstances relating to the deaths of these animals continues. Necropsy reports and other documents associated with the investigation will be made public once the investigation has been completed. <a xhref="http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/Marine-Mammals/Seals-and-Sea-Lions/Sea-Lion-Update.cfm">source</a>
