Abstract The spatial distribution of Antarctic minke whales in the Ross Sea with relation to spatial distributions of their prey – krill – was investigated in this study using generalized additive models ( GAM s). Spatial distributions of two species of krill (ice and Antarctic krill) were estimated...
