Respiratory Function in Voluntary Participating Patagonia Sea Lions (Otaria flavescens) in Sternal Recumbency

We measured esophageal pressures (n = 4), respiratory flow rates (n = 5), and expired O(2) and CO(2) (n = 4) in five adult Patagonia sea lions (Otaria flavescens, body mass range 94.3–286.0 kg) during voluntary breaths while laying down out of water.
