Abstract

Although Braje and Erlandson express concern with my inclusion of Santa Cruz Island sites containing small quantities of red abalone shells with red abalone middens on the other Channel Islands, doing so is justified because of the discrete period of time during which they occur. They also feel that I should have expanded the scope of my paper to include consideration of relationship between sea otters and red abalone, but this was beyond the intent of my report. Nonetheless, I point out that more explication is needed of the nature of sea otter hunting if its effects on red abalone availability are to be understood.

A pesar de la preocupación que expresa Braje y Erlandson sobre mi inclusión de sitios de la Isla de Santa Cruz con pequeñas cantidades de conchas de abalón rojo en los depósitos de abalón rojo presentes en otras Islas de Canal, su inclusión se justifica por su ocurrencia en el periodo de tiempo en que ocurren. Braje y Erlandson también creen que debería haber incluido en mi artículo consideraciones sobre la relación entre la nutria marina y el abalón rojo; este tema, sin embargo, va más allá del objetivo de mi reporte. A pesar de lo anterior, señalo que para entender el efecto de la caza de nutrias marinas sobre la disponibilidad del abalón rojo es necesaria una mayor explicación sobre la naturaleza de esta caza.
