Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) are infested by many parasites through various routes, including predator-prey relationships and contacts with other sea lions. However, we know little about the life histories of these parasites. This paper discusses a nasal mite (Orthohalarachne attenuata) that infests the respiratory tract of Steller sea lions. Of 22 sea lions sampled around Hokkaido in 1996, the nasal cavities of 12 were infested with the mites. An average of 23 mites were found in each infested sea lion. There was no correlation between the age of the sea lions and the number of mites they contained. The heads of 9 pups were also examined to determine when first infestation occurred. No pups were infested and none had inflamed nasal cavities.
