The aim of the study was to perform a histomorphometric evaluation of fetal ovaries of South American Fur Seals (Arctocephalus australis) of the Peruvian / northern Chile subpopulation. In this sense, samples of fetal ovaries (n = 08) were collected from four individuals recovered from enzootic abortion events at Punta San Juan Protected Natural Area (15°22′S, 75°12′W) between 2016 and 2017. Ovaries collected corresponded to fetuses around the second-trimester of gestational development and were processed following conventional histological methods with H&E staining. The measurement of follicular sizes and the evaluation of ovarian reserve was performed considering standardized procedures previously reported in the literature. An average of 84,002 ± 2 097 pre-antral follicles per fetal ovary was estimated. Of the total number of pre-antral follicles evaluated, 89.13% corresponded to primordial follicles, 10.35% to transitional follicles, 0.43% to primary follicles and 0.10% to secondary follicles. The size of each type of follicle was measured and significant differences (P <0.0001) were determined between each of them, with the exception of transitional and primary follicles that did not present significant differences. Furthermore, it was observed that 8.1% of the follicles evaluated showed signs of degeneration. It is expected that with the information generated from this study, subsequent evaluations can be developed focusing on follicular dynamics, maintenance of the ovarian reserve, and the impact on the reproduction of females of the A. australis species.
