Although various studies have described behavioral aspects of the marine otter, Lontra felina, on coastal shores with human presence, both its behavior and its activity patterns have been scarcely studied on these types of habitats in Peru. We observed the diurnal behavior of marine otters in 2 locations with different anthropic impacts, Puerto Matarani and La Ballenita Bay, between 01 February and 31 May 2019. We carried out a total of 75 observation events, with 271 sightings and 12,405.4 s of observation. In Puerto Matarani marine otters were sighted more frequently in the water, while in La Ballenita, marine otters were sighted mostly on the rocks (&#967; 2 = 43.8, d.f. = 1, P &lt; 0.001). The frequency of observations for the different types of behavior showed significant differences between locations: they were more frequently observed moving and resting in La Ballenita and moving and diving in Matarani (&#967; 2 = 52.6; d.f. = 5; P &lt; 0.001). The behavioral categories did not differ significantly in the 4 months evaluated in Puerto Matarani, however, in La Ballenita we recorded temporal variations. In both locations, otters were frequently sighted near the coast, with peaks of high activity between 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM in Puerto Matarani and between 05:30 AM and 09:30 AM in La Ballenita. Our results suggest that the behavioral variations between locations could be related to the presence of fishing residues in Puerto Matarani and the presence of vacationers in La Ballenita.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen. Aunque numerosos estudios han descrito aspectos conductuales de la nutria marina Lontra felina en litorales costeros con presencia de humanos, tanto su conducta como sus patrones de actividad han sido escasamente estudiados en este tipo de hábitats en Perú. Observamos el comportamiento diurno de la nutria marina en 2 localidades con diferente impacto antrópico, puerto Matarani y bahía La Ballenita, entre el 01 de febrero y el 31 de mayo de 2019. Realizamos, en total, 75 eventos de observación, con 271 avistamientos y 12,405.4 s de observación. En el puerto Matarani, la nutria marina fue avistada con mayor frecuencia en el agua, mientras que en La Ballenita, la nutria marina fue mayormente avistada en las rocas (&#967; 2 = 43.8, g.l. = 1, P &lt; 0.001). La frecuencia de observación de los diferentes tipos de conducta mostró diferencias significativas entre localidades: fue más frecuente observarla transitando y descansando en La Ballenita y transitando y buceando en Matarani (&#967; 2 = 52.6, g.l. = 5, P &lt; 0.001). Las categorías conductuales no difirieron significativamente en los 4 meses evaluados en puerto Matarani; sin embargo, en La Ballenita registramos variaciones temporales. En ambas localidades, la nutria fue avistada con frecuencia cerca de la costa, con picos de alta actividad entre 1:30 PM y 5:30 PM en puerto Matarani y entre 05:30 AM y 09:30 AM en La Ballenita. Nuestros resultados sugieren que las variaciones conductuales entre estas localidades podrían estar relacionadas con la presencia de residuos pesqueros en puerto Matarani y la presencia de veraneantes en La Ballenita.]]></p></abstract>
