Abducting and sexually coercing pups are hypothesized to be a means for immature male otariids to learn how to secure, control, and mate with females-and increase their future reproductive success (Campagna et al., 1988a,b). However, the impact of unintentional pup deaths and the disruption of mother-pup bonds due to the behavior of juvenile and subadult males on population growth is unclear, especially for species such as Guadalupe fur seals (Arctocephalus townsendi), which are recovering from the catastrophic effects of sealing that occurred over a century ago (Hubbs, 1956).
