Steller provides a detailed description of the life and habits of the fur seals, as well as the methods used by the Russian fur traders to hunt and process the animals. He also explores the ecological impact of the fur seal trade on the population of these animals, and the efforts made by conservationists to protect them in the late 19th century.
