The diet of Emperor Penguins Aptenodytes forsteri in Adelie Land, Antarctica
This first quantitative study of the diet of Emperor penguins is based on 29 stomach contents collected with a water off‐loading method in Adelie Land. The Emperor is largely ichthyophagous (65% by number and 95% by weight) and feeds extensively on small nototheniids (97% of the fish are 40–125 mm i...
