Summary
Over time, noxious bait, consisting of dead steelhead containing lithium chloride, did not prevent California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) predation of Washington steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). Acoustic harassment devices worked only for a short time in reducing California sea lion depredation before sea lions began to habituate to sounds.
